Here is one of my favorites... I had no idea what a damsel nymph looked like before a trip to a local lake a couple years ago. Those things were crawling all over me and I was frustrated as the fish were aggressively feeding and I had nothing that looked like that. I came home that day and tied a few of these and I have looked forward to the hatch ever since. The fish love em! They are simple to tie. I did end up using the 1" of the thick end of an old leader to melt into eyes. I agree with FG, they need to wiggle as the naturals are almost constantly moving. The tail on this one gives it movement. I hope that helps.
