Tying an Adult Damsel Fly by Davie McPhail 

Wonderful video, great representation of the damselfly! Thank you !

Beautiful and perfectly tied as usual. Unfortunately, never caught a trout with this pattern but many many smallmouth bass. Thanks for sharing your technic Davie.

Beautifully tied damsel fly. A great idea to split the foam and do the body separately. As usual, you make it look easy to tie. Good color to imitate a bluet. Thank you for sharing this foam technique with us Davie.

Hi Davie , too right it looks like them. It's a fantastic tying as per mate. I was at The Lake on Saturday ,infact 2 Saturdays in a row and I did mention to my pal that the place was thick with these Blue guys. As usual nothing to represent in my box BUT I did think how the hell would trout nail these things. Didn't think they ate them to be fair. Great fly pal. Thankyou again.

Pretty fly! Our damsel type has glossy black wings. Lovely tie.

I mind the fad of the 90s was to use a small scrap cutting of braided loop and colour it in but this is night and day compared to that in terms of buoyancy and realism

Great tying tips on the extended body. Thanks as always Davie.

I once tied a pair matting. Used some colored langartum braid for the tail.

Brilliant tie Davie, l actually caught a lovely rainbow on a similar one yesterday, the lake was full of blue, brown and red Damsel flies.

What a lovely fly this is. I've seen loads of these at Meon Springs, but i haven't seen a fish eat them. However the Blue Flash Damsel is the go to fly on this lake. I'm going to ty and try one of these, thank you.

Nicely tied damsel thanks Davie

Beautifully tied, Davie!

This is frickin' amazing!!

Awesome Davie!!!

Love it been looking for a pattern like this. Great tying skills Davie!

I have recently found your channel and really picking up some great technical skills from you. Greg in Jefferson city mo usa

I tied a version of one of those a while back, inspired by a beautiful iridescent emerald green dragonfly (as opposed to damsel fly) I saw while hauling some hay (central Texas here). Mine, although pretty, wouldn't survive more than one cast. 🙂 I like yours a lot better because it could actually be fished! Cheers!

That fly looks really alive thx for sharing Davie

Hello Davie! Great video. In this moment I'm filling up a box with foam patterns, and I was looking for a nice damsel fly in foam. Great timing. All the best.

Beautiful Davie, I seen lots of these on my wee loch yesterday and this looks a perfect match. Stay well, Big Davie

Just a nice fly to look at as well. Catches fish and fishermen.

Absolutely amazing perfection davie 👌

What a nice fly. Will give it a go.

Iv tied a similar dry damsel but never got much success on it on my local stocked stillwater..have had great success on a spent version however.

Stunning Davie

Красивая приманочка, это стрекоза да?
