Adult Damsel

Fly: Chris Reeves, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Scorpion medium weight #12
Thread: White flat silk
Body: Blue closed cell foam strip
Hackle: Honey dun or light dun cock hackle
Head: Peacock herl

Note: I do not bother with wings anymore, the fish do not seem to mind. This sits nicely in the film, deeper than traditional dry fly damsel patterns and I think looks more like a damsel in distress. Ha ha.
