Damsel Nymph 02/28/2028 Photo Album

For a description of my early experimentation with damsel nymphs, check out my post of 12/04/2011. This marked the advent of the wiggle damsel in my fly box. My most memorable experience with the wiggle damsel occurred on Lago Fonck in Argentina, when I pulled out a wiggle damsel without my guide’s advice, and it performed in amazing fashion.

Unfortunately my other interactions with this fly have not been as momentous. I have had some sporadic success, but perhaps the larger problem has been finding damsel nymph emergences. Apparently timing is everything.

The wiggle damsel is another example of a fly that I maintain adequate quantities of, so I skipped additional tying. Maybe this is the year, when I hit a thick damsel emergence.
