Emergers & Cripples

Emergers & Cripples

Mayflies are the preferred food for many trout populations.  Mayflies are very vulnerable during their emergence on the water.  Some even have a hard time with the transition and become crippled.  Trout love this stage of a hatch.  While technically only baetis and callibaetis (mayflies and blue wing olives/blue duns) have an aquatic emergence stage, some caddis, stoneflies and midges can become crippled and become easy prey.  Its a must-have group of flies. Here is the one of largest selection of emergers and cripples that you will find anywhere. As always, save 6% when you purchase six or more of a pattern, and save 12% when you buy by a dozen or more.
