Used this fly during a pressured trout session on a cold spring morning. The fish reacted immediately to the different presentation. It mimicked the hatch perfectly and caught two fish in a row. A solid choice for when the usual patterns stop working.
Peter Wright –
Fished it in the upper Midwest during a low-visibility window. The Sulpher Cripple stood out and drew attention from fish that were otherwise ignoring other patterns. Not a flashy fly, but effective when needed.
Piers Jones –
This fly worked well in a tight section of a river where fish were selective. I used it as a variation after trying standard nymphs. The fish took it on the first cast. Highly recommended for selective conditions.
