Nymphs, cripples, emergers and duns...
I hear MONTANA calling
Stillwater River, near Nye, MT...in a misting rain, extended hatch PMD weather...
PMD Cripple
HOOK: TMC 2487 or Daiichi 1130, #16-#18
THREAD: Gordon Griffith’s 14/0 Sheer, Black or Brown
TAIL: Partridge fibers
RIB: x-sm Wapsi, Gold
ABDOMEN: Pheasant tail fibers
THORAX: Stalcup’s PMD Dub
WING: Costal Deer Hair, natural, clipped to represent burst shuck, fanned in front
This pattern may also include Ginger hackle tied between the shuck and wing.I like this particular fly for slower water…the fanned wing helps to hold it stable and upright…
PMD Crippled Emerger

An excellent cripple pattern. I use this on the Madison…ummm, just around here
now if this kid would just get out of the way)
My son, Michael, just below the "Honey Hole", at $3,00 Bridge, Madison River...
