Terrestrials, emergers and/or nymphs? choose two of the 3? I'm confused and I haven't even started sorting flies yet!!!

Even if I have to throw away all these cute little damselflies I've labored so hard over. Even the pink one. Last edited by macrabbit; 01/05/11.

I just happened upon the "it's a good thing" post having no idea you were thinking of starting another. I like the idea of tying a dry and it's emerger. I think that would be very interesting to see.

Or my Winston advice for that matter... Damsel hatches here can be beyond magical. When they start rolling off the trout absolutely key on them... Never seen a sub-imago damsel though it sounds interesting and dangerous... Oh, I'm in. art Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Who said anything about a subimago? Just an everyday nymph. Uh, subimago? ... damselflies?... What color damsel nymphs do you have swimming around up there? (Besides shocking pink?)

All I can think of is tying 2 flies of the same bug, but different stages. I'm not dissing your ideas, just trying to figure out a way to keep everyone happy. My Next Husband Will Be Normal- T.
