Damsel Trout Fly

from the Turrall Thorax Bead Nymph Trout Fly Collection.

The Damsel Trout Fly is a highly effective pattern, mimicking the natural movement of damselfly nymphs, a favourite prey for trout. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple in anglers' boxes since the mid-20th century. Its design features a slender olive or green body, often crafted from marabou or chenille, with a bead head for added weight and realism.
The Damsel Fly's lifelike action in the water, combined with its vibrant colour, makes it irresistible to trout, especially during the summer months when damselflies are abundant. Perfect for stillwater fishing, this fly is a must-have for any serious angler..

Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.

The Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective when mimicking the natural movement of a damselfly nymph. Use a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to move naturally in the water. Cast near weed beds or along the edges of lakes and reservoirs where damselflies are abundant. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to imitate the swimming action of the nymph. Vary the retrieve speed to match the activity level of the fish. During warmer months, fish the fly near the surface, while in cooler conditions, allow it to sink deeper. Early morning and late afternoon are optimal times for using this fly.

Key Seasons - when is this

Thorax Bead Nymph Trout Fly

most effective?

The Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak activity of damselflies, making it an ideal time to mimic their presence. The fly is especially effective during warm, sunny days when damselflies are most active near the water's surface.
During the summer months, when the water temperature rises, trout are more likely to feed on damselflies, making this fly a perfect choice. Look for calm, clear waters where damselflies are abundant, and use the Damsel Fly to entice trout with its realistic movement and appearance.

How does the Turrall Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a fish's diet. This fly imitates the slender, elongated body and vibrant colours of the damselfly nymph, which is commonly found in still waters like lakes and ponds.
During the warmer months, these nymphs become highly active, making them an attractive target for trout. As they swim with a distinctive undulating motion, they are easily spotted by fish. The Damsel Fly's realistic appearance and movement make it an effective lure, enticing trout to strike as they seek out this abundant and nutritious prey.
