Description

The Twisted Damsel, created by Larry Tullis, is a highly effective fly pattern that imitates the nymphal stage of a damsel fly. This fly is designed to sink quickly and maintain an upright position in the water, mimicking the natural behavior of a damsel nymph

Pro Tip

Fished under an indicator with a slow or quick hand retrieve works well in still water.
