[dropcap]A[/dropcap] Damselfly Booby fished on a sinking line is a deadly setup for trout in stillwater as well as in slow moving rivers. Damsel fly larvae are active swimmers and their swimming action is very well imitated in this combination of foam eyes, discrete sparkling wool body and lively marabou tail. This one is a winner and never gets left behind when we are lake fishing from the Adirondacks to the Rockies.
