The body is crafted with iridescent mirage tinsel, creating a lifelike shimmer that entices fish.
Developed in the UK, this fly has gained popularity for its versatility and success rate. Ideal for use in lakes and reservoirs, it excels during the summer months when damsel nymphs are most active..

Deadly Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Red Head Mirage Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is best used in stillwater environments where damsel nymphs are prevalent. To maximise effectiveness, employ a slow retrieve with intermittent pauses to mimic the natural swimming action of a damsel nymph. Use a floating or intermediate line to keep the fly in the strike zone, and consider a figure-of-eight retrieve to create subtle movement.
For presentation, cast near weed beds or structures where trout are likely to be hunting. Allow the fly to sink slightly before starting the retrieve. Vary the speed and length of pauses to match the activity level of the fish, and be ready for strikes during the pause.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Damsel Trout Fly

most effective?
The Red Head Mirage Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak of the damsel fly hatch, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on emerging insects, and the Red Head Mirage Damsel's vibrant colours and movement mimic the natural prey effectively.
For optimal results, target clear, sunny days when the water temperature is warmer, as this encourages more insect activity. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times, as trout are more likely to be feeding near the surface.

How does the Turrall Deadly Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Red Head Mirage Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. During the warmer months, damselfly nymphs are abundant in freshwater habitats, making them a prime target for feeding fish. The fly's vibrant red head and iridescent body replicate the natural appearance and movement of the nymph as it emerges from the water to become an adult. This stage is particularly enticing to trout as the nymphs are vulnerable and plentiful, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The fly's design effectively captures the attention of trout, increasing the angler's chances of a successful catch.
