Ultra Damsel fly pattern - Damselfly nymph image

Description

The Ultra Damsel by Shane Stallcup is an extremely realistic damselfly nymph imitation. Damsel nymphs fished toward the shoreline are irresistible to large trout.

Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.

Pro Tip

These nymphs don't swim very fast, so use a slow retrieve on a sinking tip line for the best results.
