Life
cycle is incomplete metamorphosis. The eggs hatch into small nymphs where
the growth stage is rapid shedding its exoskeleton several times. When
fully grown nymphs make their way to emergant vegetation where they moult
into adult flies. The adult dragonfly is rarely important to the feeding
cycles of trout whereas damselflies are a good foodsource in both adult
and nymph stage. Damsel fly nymphs occur in the water at much higher rates
than that of the dragonfly and swim in and undulating fashion. Imitative
patterns fished in the shallows and margins will often be to good effect. |
