fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 Here is another simple pattern - COAF Damsel Fly, that seems to be a consistent producer of Bass and on occasion a Catfish. Used it today at a local pond. Although the action was slow, and was able to catch a Bluegill, a Sunfish, a Catfish (using a Tube version of the same pattern), and a Bass that went just under 15".

fshng84 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Caught three Bass that went for COAF Damsel Fly. Works well sight casting to Bass in their Beds. Just be sure to bring polarized glasses! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Brought the five weight fly rod and more COAF Damsel Flies. This time, added a little white marabou so we can see it a little better in the water. Had a number of Bass ignore the COAF Damsel Fly, had two others consider it but did not strike, and had three that went for it! Fun stuff!

fshng84 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 ... went with a purple and white COAF Damsel Fly that we tied several weeks ago. That was the ticket with three Bass caught this round. Got video of two; camera battery died by the third Bass. Did get a picture of it though! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2015 Action was slow but steady with several Sunfish caught using a COAF Griffith's Gnat, and then one Bass on a Near Deere, and six Bass that went for a COAF Damsel Fly. No Bruisers but still good to get out on a nice Sunday morning! Today's Video. Liking the simple but effective COAF Damsel Fly pattern! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2017 your "COAF damsel fly" is a clouser minnow tied with marabou... We think so too, except when we "reverse engineered" a damsel fly we bought from a sporting good store, it came out that way save for adding more marabou to make sure it ride hook up. Regardless, it works for us... Purple Damsel Fly worked for three bass this round today. Was not planning on fishing but there was a break in the rain. So, grabbed the first rod that was handy... was the Switch Rod! Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
