Mayfly Cripple Dry Fly Pattern (BWO)

- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- This is a simple mayfly cripple dry fly pattern and works for basically all species. It’s particularly effective when there is a large presence of insects either in back-eddies or on the water in clumps, etc. You can move the wing up to the standard position to have a nice standard adult as well if you like. This one is tied as a blue-winged olive, or Baetis mayfly.
Extremely good video! And you show us everything from start to finish in a great way! Keep up the good work!
+Vebjørn Egeland Thanks
so much, Vebjørn! I hope the fly helps
you catch a few more fish.
Great video on the BWO Cripple, I willing to bet that CDC would be an excellent choice for the side wing post. We have a lot of Blue Winged Olives here in AZ, and I never thought about the cripples other than a comparadun style BWO, which really works well, with the bottom fibers cut for a surface level drift.
+Paul Asbell CDC would work just fine. I would probably be more inclined to use CDC on flatter and calmer spring creeks with this pattern. Basically, any situation where a bulkier pattern might get refused. However, the natural is usually quite bulky to begin with. Tie some up and see how they do. Thanks!
Help me understand what you are going for here.. if you didn't have that post in there it would have been a regular BWO> but that post pushed to the side makes it look kinda retarded so the fish think its easy pickins? and what exactly was the material you used for the post .. could you use post yarn?
+Ivan Bundy You got it, my man. Sometimes that tall wing that sticks straight up on the natural is really important, but at certain other times, those fish will take cripples way more readily than that traditional upwing pattern. You could use really anything for the downwing portion of the fly, but here’s a link to the pattern recipe and the logic behind the cripple, that is to say, when I like to fish it. Try these out in the right situation. They really catch fish! Thanks again.
