# **How to Choose Olive Blue Flash Damsels, Trout Flies, 3 Pack, Unweighted Size 10, Fishing Flies**
When it comes to fly fishing for trout, selecting the right fly can make all the difference between a successful day on the water and going home empty-handed. One of the most effective patterns for targeting trout in stillwaters and slow-moving rivers is the **Olive Blue Flash Damsel**. This fly imitates damselfly nymphs, a key food source for trout, especially during the warmer months.
In this guide, we’ll break down why the **Olive Blue Flash Damsel (3 Pack, Unweighted, Size 10)** from **KyleBooker** is a must-have in your fly box and how to choose the best version for your fishing needs.
## **Why Choose the Olive Blue Flash Damsel?**
### **1. Realistic Imitation of Damselfly Nymphs**
Trout are opportunistic feeders, and damselfly nymphs are a staple in their diet. The **Olive Blue Flash Damsel** perfectly mimics the slender body, segmented abdomen, and subtle movement of real damselfly nymphs. The **olive coloration** blends naturally with aquatic vegetation, while the **blue flash** adds an enticing trigger that grabs the attention of even the most selective trout.
### **2. Unweighted Design for Natural Drift**
The **unweighted** version of this fly allows for a slow, natural sink rate, making it ideal for shallow waters or when fishing near weed beds. Unlike weighted nymphs that may sink too quickly, an unweighted damsel can be retrieved with a **slow, steady strip** to imitate the natural swimming motion of a nymph.
### **3. Size 10 – The Perfect Balance**
A **Size 10** fly is large enough to be visible to trout in murky water yet small enough to avoid spooking wary fish. This size is particularly effective for imitating mature damselfly nymphs, which are a preferred meal for larger trout.
### **4. Durable Construction (KyleBooker Quality)**
KyleBooker’s **Olive Blue Flash Damsels** are tied with high-quality materials, ensuring durability even after multiple catches. The **3-pack** provides excellent value, allowing anglers to carry backups without worrying about running out during a productive hatch.
## **When and How to Fish the Olive Blue Flash Damsel**
### **Best Fishing Conditions**
– **Spring & Summer:** Damselfly nymphs are most active in warmer months, making this fly highly effective from late spring through early fall.
– **Stillwaters & Slow Rivers:** Ideal for lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams where trout hunt near weed beds.
– **Overcast Days & Low Light:** The blue flash enhances visibility, making it a great choice when light conditions are poor.
### **Retrieval Techniques**
1. **Slow Strip Retrieve:** Use a hand-twist retrieve to mimic the natural swimming motion of a damsel nymph.
2. **Induced Take:** Occasionally pause and twitch the fly to trigger aggressive strikes.
3. **Under an Indicator:** When fishing deeper water, suspend the fly under a strike indicator for a controlled presentation.
