Field Notes

A mayfly cripple/emerger pattern for trout feeding on or just below the surface during a hatch. Fish it dead-drift in calm water or gentle current when trout are keying on vulnerable insects that haven’t fully emerged.

Pros

  • Realistic cripple/emerger profile
  • Zelon shuck adds a convincing trailing silhouette
  • Useful during mayfly hatches

Cons

  • Best when fish are actively taking mayflies
  • Delicate dry-fly presentation can be required
