Marabou Olive Damsel Trout Fly

from the Turrall Nymph Damsel Trout Fly Collection.

The Marabou Olive Damsel Trout Fly is a highly effective pattern, renowned for its ability to mimic the natural movement of damselfly nymphs. Originating in the UK, this fly has become a staple in the fly boxes of anglers targeting trout in stillwaters. Its design features a marabou tail, which provides lifelike motion, and an olive body that closely resembles the natural hue of damselfly larvae.
The fly's effectiveness is enhanced by its bead head, which ensures it sinks quickly to the desired depth, enticing even the most cautious trout. Ideal for use in clear waters, the Marabou Olive Damsel is a must-have for any serious fly fisher..

Marabou Olive Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Marabou Olive Damsel is highly effective for targeting trout, especially in stillwaters. To maximise its effectiveness, use a floating or intermediate line to keep the fly in the strike zone. Cast near weed beds or drop-offs where damsel nymphs are naturally found. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the natural swimming action of a damsel nymph. Alternatively, use a figure-of-eight retrieve to create a lifelike movement. Vary the depth and speed of retrieval to match the activity level of the fish. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times for using this fly.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Damsel Trout Fly

most effective?

The Marabou Olive Damsel is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak activity of damselfly nymphs, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, focus on warm, sunny days when damselflies are hatching and trout are actively feeding near the water's surface. The fly excels in clear, still waters such as lakes and reservoirs, where its lifelike movement can entice trout. Overcast days with a slight breeze can also enhance its effectiveness, as the subtle motion of the fly mimics natural prey.

How does the Turrall Marabou Olive Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Marabou Olive Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. During the warmer months, damselfly nymphs are abundant in freshwater habitats, making them a prime target for feeding fish. The fly's olive colour and marabou tail mimic the natural movement and appearance of the nymph as it swims through the water.
Trout are particularly drawn to this stage because nymphs are slow-moving and vulnerable, providing an easy meal. The fly's lifelike presentation and enticing motion make it an effective choice for anglers seeking to attract trout.
