Here is a pattern on a damselnymph that i like

Gold Head: brass or tungsten. 3,2mm 
Thread: Olive 
Tail: Olive marabou and four dark green or black rubber legs 
Body: Olive dubbing and two or four rubber legs 
Hackle: Olive rooster hackle. 
If you want to, you can tie knee joints on the rubber legs

No 14. Tricolor cigar

Tricolor cigar


At first glance this fly may appear as a grotesque monster. 
Oversized and with extreme buoyancy and additionally tied to fishing for rainbow trout. 
But I strongly believe in big flies for rainbow troute. 
Many times it has been shown that they can deliver when almost nothing else does and this particular combination of colors has become very popular in the south of Sweden to fishing for rainbow trout
