I think that most people would agree with you. In fact I think that the
best adult pattern is a "dead damsel" or cripple pattern. The fish are used
to seeing the adults a foot in the air, and only occasionally will leap for
them. Parachute pattens are pretty good "dead" patterns becasue it appears
the the wings are in disarray

When the Damsel fly nymph sheds it's shuck, it first comes out in a tan
color with a hint of olive. As time goes on, they change color to blue
and
then to blue and black. While they are tan, there are numerous criples.
You can tie a tan body, with irregular wings from a grizzly saddle, and
catch a lot fo fish.

Very interesting. I''m of the opinion that you will get more success
fishing the nymph rather than the adult.

The adult, or an imitation of an adult isn't fished very often in the UK
- AFAIK
