If you're new to fishing, the damsel fly can be a great place to start. Here are some tips on how to fish a damsel fly.
First, find a good spot to fish. Look for areas where the water is calm and there is plenty of vegetation for the damsels to feed on. Once you've found a good spot, it's time to rig your rod.
For this type of fishing, you'll want to use a light spinning rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line. Tie on a small hook - size 10 or 12 will work well. For bait, you can use either live or artificial flies that mimic the appearance of damselflies. When using live bait, thread 1-2 small worms onto your hook. If using an artificial fly, simply tie it onto your line about 18 inches above the hook.
Now it's time to cast your line into the water. Let out enough line so that your baited hook is resting on the bottom of the lake or pond (damselflies typically stay close to the bottom when feeding). Slowly reel in your line about 6-8 inches and then let it back out again - this jigging action will help attract fish. Repeat this process until you feel a bite; then reel in your catch!
