Tying a Stretchy Olive Damsel Nymph by Mak

[@TheTranquilEye]

Hey Mak! This was the first fly I have tied (using this video) that I've ever used in anger. The lake I fished this weekend was really hard going and nobody was catching. I started with a shop bought Diawl Bach but changed to the ODNymph when I got lost in a tree. Second cast and bang! Fish on and landed. The holy grail of fly fishing! I'm still smiling two days later. Cheers!

Hey Mak! Tied up a couple of damsels in both olive and brown and fished them as a pair - got fish on both colors with a couple more favoring the brown flavor :-) Tight lines! Hank

[@bryce8463]

I have noticed on some flies that you have made that you use varnish to make them look better. Where did you buy it or what is it called?

[@Makflies]

Thank you bryce8,, it's call Sally Hansen Hard as Nail clear Varnish :)

[@bryce8463]
