The Quigley Cripple is one of the patterns that brought national attention to Bob and his fly designs. With the Quigley Cripple, Bob not only pioneered a new tying concept, he identified a new niche within a mayfly hatch. In the late 70’s, while guiding on the Fall River in Northern California, Bob observed that fish were keying on mayflies that were caught in transition between shedding their nymphal shuck and flying away as a dun. He dubbed these doomed naturals as “cripples” and developed the Quigley Cripple to capitalize on this discovery. You can read about the history, how to tie and how to fish the Quigley Cripple. here. Cripples are now a mainstream tying style and pattern in today’s fly boxes. Virtually all flies that bear the name “cripple” are based on Bob’s pioneering tying style where the rear portion of the fly is tied to imitate the nymphal shuck (and rides underwater) while the front part of the fly represents the emergence of an adult (and rides above water). Next time you fool a picky fish with a cripple, tip your hat to Bob Quigley. When & Where This is a versatile fly that can be fished anywhere mayflies hatch (including lakes). The fly was originally designed for the spring creek conditions of The Fall River. Since Bob introduced the fly fishing world to the Quigley Cripple, it has proved to be just as effective on rivers and lakes all over the world.   -2% Details   SKU Idy_fwc Quantity in stock 94 item(s) available Weight 0.20 lbs Price: $1.99 Options   Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 Add to cart     Add to wish list   Send to friend Your name: * Your e-mail: * Recipient's email: * Send to friend   Recommended products list Customers who bought this product also bought the following products: Gehrke's Gink Floatant Patagonia Men's Capilene® 2 Bottoms OAKLEY POLARIZED WHISKER® Idylwilde Quigley's Little Yellow Stone Nymph PATAGONIA GREAT DIVIDER Cortland LC-13 Lead Core Line Idylwilde Wilcox Micro Mayfly HASKIN FLY BOXES Rio AFS Outbound Fly Line Outcast PAC 900FS   Customer feedback Product rating Voting Select your rating...
