Carolyn Grant –
This fly mimics the natural behavior of a mayfly in its vulnerable stage and caught several trout on a calm morning stream. The detail is accurate and the hook holds well without breaking during casting.
Phil Robertson –
Used it during a spring trip and noticed fish were more active when I presented the cripple fly. It’s a subtle pattern that stands out without being flashy.
Robert Clarkson –
Great addition to my fly box. The texture and color match the real insect well. I’ve had consistent success with it in clear mountain streams.
