Kaufmann's Marabou Damsel

Hook - TFS 2302 or equivalent
Thread - Olive
Tail - Olive marabou
Ribbing - Gold wire
Body - Olive marabou, twisted

TFS = The Fly Shop brand hook

This one is olive but try other colors of marabou
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

As always Norm, Wonderful! I love the patterns simplicity and the marabou component! When you mentioned about changing the colors of the marabou, I was thinking the back two thirds (abdomen) of olive green and the thorax of a medium brown! I know that most damselfly nymphs are monochromatic (as Bill Shuck used to say) but I thought the combining of colors might make it interesting! It's hard to tell what the hogs down below us (upper pond) will like but, I think your version will be well received on the menu!
