RAINY`S WHITLOCK'S GORILLA DAMSEL/DRAG FLY - BLUE #02
A realistic, high-action pattern designed by Dave Whitlock to imitate both damsel and dragonfly nymphs—two of the most important food sources in stillwater environments. Built with soft, mobile materials and a weighted body, it delivers a lifelike swimming motion that draws savage strikes from trout, bass, and panfish.
The rugged, buggy profile and subtle movement make it deadly when fished near weed beds or along lake edges where nymphs are active.
Key Features:
Designed by Dave Whitlock to imitate damsel and dragonfly nymphs
Weighted for natural swimming action and quick sink
Soft, mobile materials create lifelike motion
Versatile stillwater pattern for trout, bass, and panfish
Excellent in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving water
Recommended Use:
Fish it in sizes 8–12, using slow hand-twist retrieves or short strips near vegetation and structure. Especially effective during late spring and summer when nymphs are migrating.
