The Barbless Blue Damsel Lure Size 12 is a brilliant, compact blue-flash damsel pattern with a blue bead, tied on a premium Ahrex barbless streamer hook. It is designed for stillwater trout feeding around weed beds and margins, where damselfly nymphs provide substantial, mobile food.
Fish it on a floating or intermediate line with a slow figure-of-eight, short pulls and frequent pauses. Work it close to weed edges, reeds and shallow shelves, allowing the fly to sink before beginning the retrieve. The blue flash is a trigger rather than a literal feature of every natural damsel, so use movement and depth to keep the presentation credible. An excellent fish catcher - vary the retrieve and be ready for a decisive hit.
