Emergers & Cripples
Skip to content
Mayflies are the preferred food for many trout populations.
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.
