Life of the Party
Occasionally and rarely, I have had good fishing for Rainbows with adult damsel patterns. A few years back, it was consistently in a patch of heavy vegetation. There weren’t many takes, but I attributed that to poor visibility as the fish were swimming below the weeds. A few times, the fish have been taking the adults out in open water during heavy wave action. During lulls in the wind, you can see clouds of damsel adults flying an inch above the surface and trout appear to be snatching them out of the air. It doesn’t seem to be a common occurrence but whe it happens, it’s magic. A foam damsel will get it done and floats high in the waves.
