We get lots of orange ones. Reddish orange on the bottom, orange and brown
on top.

Hi All,
Here is a link that has pics of red damselflies.

Out here I seem to just use blue and tan for the adults and olivish for the
nymphs.

OH WOW ! Look at all the pretty colors. Who would have figured that. I kind of
like the purple dragonflies that I see on occasion in East Texas... No, I don't
think it is the flashbacks.

I stand correted. I would love to see a picture of one that is not the
standard tan or blue. I'll pay more attention the next time I see a
"dragonfly" pass by.

I would guess that I have spent at least 100 hours a week fishng for damsel
adults, and I have never seen, or recognized, any damsel that was red or
orange.

It is unlikely that you are seeing red damsel flies. There is another bug
called a dragon fly. these are much larger than a damsel (but very
similar
in shape), and come in various colors including blue. If what you are
seeing is red, it is most likely a dragon fly. There also dragon fly
nymphs
and they are much larger than damsel nymphs. The fish can be keying on
them
and, since they are larger, the fish hit them hard.

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.


What about those damsel flies I see that have the red bodies?

Actually what I am seeing are the same size of a normal blue damsel, only
the bodies are red. They are way too small for a dragon fly.

One that is very close to what I see, can be seen he

When I go out fishing this weekend, and one lands on my rod, I'll try to get
a picture and post it to a.b.p.f.

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

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
