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
Such a stunning colour
Thank you :))
Nice pattern Mak, good tip on how to close that gap on the stretch too
Thank you Junior,, 😊 😊

I love it! Can you please tell me what that clear elastic cord is that you use? I need to get some, but don’t know what to ask for. Thank you...
Thank you UP96,, I am glad you like it , it's a Beading Elastic Cord which is available in any Craft shop also on ebay, :)
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?
Thank you bryce8,, it's call Sally Hansen Hard as Nail clear Varnish :)
Makflies -- Thank you! I will buy that.
Nice simple pattern Mak, I'll tie up a couple to try this evening! Thanks for the tips for working with the body material! ATB! Hank
