Easy Mini Damsel
Cheech - July, 2023

Atwisted marabou damsel has been around for as long as Stillwater fishing has been popular. This one is cool because of the type of marabou used, and we show you a cool way to make it more durable with a stretch rib. I like to fish this fly in early to mid summer where there a lot of weed beds present. It’s great on a midge tip, hover, or intermediate line. Tie them with varied sizes, weights, and colors!
