Articulated Carp Fly Step-by-Step: Damsel Nymph Imitation

This is a fun fly to tie that is great for finicky carp. It imitates a damsel nymph and has great movement due to the articulated tail. Plenty of foam and soft hackle make it enter the water softly and wiggle enticingly on the bottom. I will include links to some of the materials that you can’t buy in fly shops. If you would rather buy this fly, you can find it on my website: . .
