Damsel - Olive

Damsel — Olive / Extended Body Adult Damselfly

When adult damselflies are flying and landing on the water near weed beds and banks, stillwater trout go into full predator mode — and the Olive Damsel is built to match that moment. The extended body profile accurately replicates the long, slender silhouette of an adult damselfly sitting on the surface, giving selective trout exactly what they're looking for during a damsel flight. Olive is the most natural and effective color for matching the real thing on most stillwaters.
