This week on Tying Tuesday, Kyle walks you through how to tie his Ribbed Rubber Damsel—a deadly stillwater fly that imitates a damsel nymph with incredible movement and durability. This pattern excels during late spring and summer when trout are cruising weed beds, shorelines, and shallow flats. The rubber legs and ribbing give it lifelike action that triggers aggressive eats.
