In this video Simon shows how to connect a well balanced damsel nymph. The pattern is fairly basic to connect, and utilizes colored ostrich plumes to produce an “active in the water” nymph. The Well Balanced Ostrich Damsel Nymph can be utilized in lakes or sluggish moving streams. Make sure to have an excellent set of wire cutters for the well balanced pins!
