A fighting fit early season rainbow trout caught using a traditional Damsel Nymph fly fished off a sink tip line.

Using nymphs like the Damsel early season requires a patient and very slow retrieve to fish the fly those few feet down precisely where the trout might expect to find such a morsel.

Early season Damsel nymphs are often quite small and a bright green.
