Last Chance Cripple Baetis

The Last Chance Cripple fly pattern was designed for the picky, fly inspecting trout of the Henry’s Fork, during a Baetis hatch.  This fly is designed to imitate a mayfly struggling to escape it’s nymph exoskeleton.  This is a very vulnerable state in life for a mayfly, and trout know that these flies are are an easy meal.  Tied in size 14 to 20
