Become A Better Fly Tier #2: Crippled Mayfly

[@ehomhomler3182]

GREAT JOB EXPANDING !!! I love your style of a crippled

[@troutcastz]

Thanks a lot. :)

[@kennethsanders963]

What a great fly ! I used Kapok dubbing in light olive and the thorax in dark olive .Thanx for the pattern.👍✌

[@troutcastz]

Thanks! Sure that Kapok will do the work :) Tight lines.

[@sputnick66]

That was great, good explanation. I agree with you about the amount of hackle, three of four turns is enough.

[@troutcastz]

Thanks! And yes, the fly won't sink with 3-4 turns instead of 34.... ;)

[@dickwhite3497]

I like the sparse hackle/legs idea. It makes so much more sense than a typical dry fly style.

[@troutcastz]

I ofc agree. And thanks :)

CDC is always difficult to fish in fast water because gets wet quickly. Do you treat it to float few more times or you just change fly after few casts?

[@troutcastz]

I would say the opposite. if you use good CDC it is very fat and doesn't get wet that easily. And also dries up very quick. Especially if you snap the fly 2-3 times before presenting it again.

Harrops Last Chance Cripple

[@troutcastz]

No. Last Chance is tied with a Biot body. Not dubbing. If you search or google Crippled Mayflies, almost everyone is tied in the same matter so they lay in a special way in the surface.
