Damsel Nymph: The Order Odonata contains over 450 individual species of Damselflies and Dragonflies. The Odonata larval stage is much more important as a food source to trout than the adult stage. Prior to hatching, Odonata nymphs swim towards the banks or shore with a distinctive wiggle as they look for vegetation to crawl up on. Fishing this nymph in from deeper water is the trick. This is a great summer pattern and a must for all types of lakes. Also an excellent carp pattern. We are currently updating our inventory and not accepting new orders. Please check back at a later date. | |||||
