FAQ
What makes the Balanced Damsel different from other nymph imitations?
The Balanced Damsel is specifically designed to mimic the natural movement and weight of a real damsel nymph, with a tungsten body that provides excellent sink rate and stability in the water.
Is this fly suitable for both still and moving water?
Yes, it performs well in both lakes and rivers, especially in areas where damsel flies are common.
Can the Balanced Damsel be used with a floating or sinking line?
It works best with sinking lines when fishing under an indicator, as it maintains a natural profile and drifts naturally in the current.

Carol Martin –
This fly matches the real damsel nymph well. I’ve used it in a lake with a floating indicator and it stayed natural in the current. The tungsten body gives it a good weight and it doesn’t sink too fast. Great for targeting nymphs in clear water.
Pippa Hemmings –
Fished it in a river with plenty of damsel flies. It worked well under my indicator and stayed in place. A bit heavier than expected, but that’s probably due to the tungsten core. Would recommend for nymph fishing.
Lillian Langdon –
Used this in a still lake with a weighted indicator. The fly drifted naturally and attracted fish. The design is accurate and the weight distribution is balanced. A solid choice for damsel nymph patterns.
