The Georgi Damselfly Nymph
Originator: Georgi Abbott
Photo & Tie: Aaron Laing (Stream Time / fly fishing in the reel world!)
If you remember the Logan lake fly shop then you’ll probably remember Georgi Abbot. She and her husband ran the fly shop for years and when there was fishing to do it was usually at one of the many lakes in that area. Word is that Georgi developed this damselfly pattern most specifically for Tunkwa lake where it performed spectacularly – even when trolled through the thick “pea soup” algae bloom of mid summer!
Here’s how to tie it:
Materials
Hook: TMC 3761 or 3761BL, sizes 12-14
Thread: Light Cahill 8/0
Eyes: Monofilament eyes
Rib: Fine copper wire
Hackle: Hen neck or saddle, ginger/brown
Step by Step Tying Instructions
... start by figure eighting the eyes into place.
... tie in tail & wind the remaining marabou up to form an underbody
... tie in body material & rib
.. wrap body forward then counter wrap rib forward - tie both off.
... tie in hackle & make a few wraps.
... tie in marabou & form head - whip finish & you're done!
and there you have it folks … the Georgi Damsel!
