- Description
- When I think of a cripple I typically think of a some type of mayfly, a BWO or Baetis, PMD or Sulphur, heck even a drake.
- But the truth is just about every insect in the water can emerge a cripple.
- A cripple is simply a insect that was somehow deformed in the emergence process.
- Therefore this bug isn’t able to correctly leave the water like its fellow companions are able to.
- Cripples are often targeted by trout as they are an easy food source.
- Chances are these bugs aren’t going to be able to move much and the trout view them as the easy meal they are.
- The Caddis Cripple is meant to replicate a caddis in this situation.
- The body may seem a bit small, wings may seem a bit haphazard, but it is all done to make this pattern look as deformed (while natural) as possible.
- Fish during the hatch and for a bit after it as well.
