Dave & Duck -
Several fellows I've watched tie articulated flies at demos say that most of the hookups come on the trailing hook. In fact, some don't bother with a hook on the front end - they build both parts of the fly on hooks and cut off the front hook at the bend when they finish the fly.
Not sure that would work on a damsel pattern, but just something to keep in mind.
