It's the best for how and where I fish, and I share them with those not catching. Although I do alter it a bit, it still works great. Keep up the good work and the tyer that ties them. CJ Webb

Probably one of the most productive flies I've ever used.

I consider this damsel nymph pattern to be the best damsel nymph pattern out there. It fishes well in our higher altitude lakes Montana lakes from the onset of the damsel hatch throughout the summer damsel-hatch season. This particular version, with the TRANSLUCENT red bead and the tiny bit of glitter in the tail seems the best version out there -- but it is very difficult to find.
