Rune Andre Stokkebekk 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by Rune Andre Stokkebekk: Irresistible Damsel One of my favorite patterns for bankfishing in small lakes. The only bad thing with this fly is that the Perch also love it, sometimes they can be very annoying. A year round pattern. I also tie it in a lighter olive shade.

Rune Andre Stokkebekk 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Thanks Guys! Please give me feeback if you try it out. I use the tubing in hope to make it more translucent. I know that the damsel dont swim with the legs out like this, but i think it gives the fly more movement and trigger factor. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rune Andre Stokkebekk 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 sorry, a rear hook. i dont know why but me and all my buddys call them the "stinger" on the backAha! Yes the rear hook or abdomen hook as i wrote in the materiallist is a Mustad 94833 size 10. But any dry/wetfly hook will do. I use it for this because i don't tie flies on those mustad hooks any more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
