Howdy folks. My original fly is again featured at Fly Anglers Online (
www.flyanglersonline.com). Scroll down little a bit and you'll see "
Pheasant Tail Mayfly Cripple" and click!! Or click
FOTW (Fly of the Week) on the left. PT MF Cripple is featured as of Jan 2, 2012. WOW what a good start for the brandnew year!! Background stories, how-to-fish, materials, tying steps are there. So I don't repeat here all over. It does catch fish!! Just one story that I omitted was: reason/situation I came up with this fly was that too many pheasant tails are left at my bench as I tie too many
COYOTEs so I "
had to" do something with them & reduce them.......It turned out to be not just an inventory reduction but a very effective fly!!
This is baetis with white wing.
This is PMD with black wing. Some people claim black wings are easy to see on overcast day. I think this is really a personal choise/matter. I, for one, prefer white wing under any condition.
Go catch fish! I still remember this catch at DePuy. One of nicest rainbow caught on dry-fly and so far the best of PT MF Cripple!! And the fact my idea was approved at DePuy means my fly & I passed the exam assigned by River God & trout.
I'll create a PAGE on the top right for this fly and mores to come soon!!
