MFC Rowley's Pearly Damsel

The MFC Rowley's Pearly Damsel is a deadly, stillwater fly pattern expertly designed by Phil Rowley to imitate the slender, free-swimming damselfly nymph. This fly is exceptionally productive in lakes and ponds with heavy weed growth, where the naturals are a key food source for trout, especially from ice-out through mid-summer. Anglers should fish this sparse, lifelike pattern with a hand-twist retrieve and pauses near or in channels between weed beds to mimic the damsel's natural movement and trigger aggressive strikes.
