Video: Tying a Damselfly Nymph

Posted by AC On January - 4 - 2010

Santa brought me a new video camera.  While it will get most of it’s use at chorus concerts and the kids’ sporting events, it’ll spend its off time at the tying bench and on the water…

I’ve got a lot to learn when it comes to this video stuff, but I gotta say that I’m pretty happy with the results of the tying video I did below at the camera’s default settings and basic lighting.  I should be able to ramp up the quality level a notch or two once I figure out all the buttons and stuff.

Anyways, here is a video tutorial on how to tie a very simple damselfly nymph pattern that proved itself over and over again on my local panfish puddles in ’09.

    I like it! I’ve been experimenting with various damselfly nymphs this spring and what most of them lack is good motion. This is the first I’ve seen with rubber legs and damsel nymphs have prominent legs. I’m going to tie some up and give em a go. Thanks for the vid.
