My yearning for bass combined with some ned rig heads I came across, and I took a break from tying trout lake stuff to get jiggy

I'm guessing that the shine is cured UV? I've always thought of damsel nymph and adults as "soft" - this is intriguing.This past weekend, I fished a lake with @Kfish where there were tons of swirls as fish chased emergers. He quickly found that a slow striped combo that included a small, very sparse, translucent bodied damsel emerger was pretty effective. Since he bought them, had very few left and the fact that I promptly broke off the one he gave me to try off on a fish, I am in the process of trying to emulate to the best of my very modest fly tying abilities . The other fly in the second pick is a very simple pattern that should be effective as well.

Looks great! Used to be able to buy the tails for the ultra damsel, they were clear plastic with a small tuft of marbou that ran thru it and stuck out the end (just like stalcup's ultra damsel you see commercially tied), very much simplified tying the ultra damsel being able to get the tails pre-made.This past weekend, I fished a lake with @Kfish where there were tons of swirls as fish chased emergers.

However, I haven't seen them in a while. Wish they still made them, it's an awesome lake pattern.
