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.

I quoted the wrong pattern. It looks awesome Tworod.
