Norm,
Your Sparkle Damsel Nymph has lights! Where do the batteries go? This pattern is beautiful!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

My favorite damsel nymph.
It was all you needed to fish a great damsel hatch in a lake that literally thousands of fly fisherman pass by each year in MT. Few know of the hatch or the browns and rainbows that feed on it each year.

Out fricking standing. Gorgeous pattern, and good insight on what to be on the look out for on lakes.
