FAQ
What makes the Belly Flop Balanced Damsel suitable for both indicator and sinking line fishing?
Its balanced design allows it to maintain consistent action whether being stripped on a sinking line or presented under an indicator.
Is the hook barbless and why is that important?
Yes, the hook is barbless, which makes it easier to remove from the fish and reduces injury to the catch, improving catch-and-release success.
What type of water conditions is this fly best suited for?
This fly is designed for stillwater environments where natural damsel imitations are effective.

Fished it in a quiet lake this morning and it worked well under a floating indicator. The balance is perfect and the tungsten head keeps it steady without sinking too fast. Easy to tie and matches the natural damsel well.
Leah Kerr –
Used it on a slow-moving pond with a sinking line. It stayed on the surface and didn’t drag. The barbless hook made it easy to release the trout after a good strike.
Nicola Peake –
Great for stillwater fishing. It mimics the natural damsel and responds well to both strip and indicator presentations. Very reliable in low-current conditions.
