Fly Tying Friday - The Easter Basket Damselfly Nymph

April 16, 2021 Panfish On The Fly
The Easter Basket Damselfly Nymph is a damselfly with a little bling!

The Easter Basket Damselfly Nymph is a damselfly with a little bling!

Damselfly nymphs are probably my favorite warm water nymph patterns. Damselflies are found everywhere (at least in my neck of the woods), and many fish species relish them. I typically use damselfly nymph patterns in natural hues of olive, green, tan, and brown. However, during certain times of the year, my local panfish and bass seem to key in on brightly colored flies. For those occasions, I thought a bright damsel nymph would be just the ticket.

If you fish in still water, whether it be for trout or panfish, damselflies are usually on the menu. With almost 3,000 species worldwide, chances are your home water has a few!

The Panfish Chicken Little

I am surprised how many steelhead patterns (with a little modification) find their way into my panfish fly boxes! One of my most productive warm water nymph patterns is my Panfish Wiggler. This pattern is a spin-off of the Spring Wiggler, a very popular steelhead pattern across the Great Leakes region.

The Green Eyed Damselfly Nymph

October 27, 2017 Panfish On The Fly
Bluegills and other panfish can't resist the green eyed damselfly!

Bluegills and other panfish can't resist the green eyed damselfly!

 In warm water environments, all species of panfish and larger fish like largemouth and smallmouth bass feed heavily on damselfly nymphs.  Even though a size eight Green Eyed Damsel is a relatively small fly, drop one on the nose of a largemouth bass patrolling a shoreline and he is likely to pounce on it.

The Emu Dragon aka The SB Nymph

Every once in a while you develop a pattern, fish it for years, then see something similar designed by another tier.  Sometimes, as is the case here, the other individual’s concept of the fly is better than your own.
