Field Notes

A pale morning dun cripple pattern is meant to imitate an insect that is stuck, spent, or struggling on the surface. Fish it during PMD hatches or any time trout are keying on mayflies in slower seams, riffles, or slick water. A dead-drift presentation with a drag-free float is the most effective approach.

Pros

  • Highly effective during PMD hatches
  • Spent-wing profile looks like an easy meal
  • Small size is good for selective trout

Cons

  • Best when trout are actively feeding on mayflies
  • Can be hard to see in glare or rough water
