The Last Chance Cripple pattern was designed by famed angler and tier Rene Harrop.  The pattern was designed to fish for picky fish on spring creeks and the Railroad Ranch on the Henry's Fork.  This pattern incorporates a CDC wing that imitates a crippled bug trapping air bubbles, making the insect look vulnerable, and an easy target. It can be tied to match any Mayfly by changing the size and color.  It is an extremely effective pattern to fish when fish seem to refuse your traditional dry fly, and we love to use as a trailing fly with our dry...

Winter means that Midge patterns are king.  Josh Williams is the creator of this pattern.  What we like about this pattern is its simplicity, effectiveness, and it is just a flat out versatile pattern.  Originally this pattern is tied in purple, pink, and orange.  We like this pattern in black and olive as well.  This pattern is tied in sizes 14-20 and because of the material for the wing is easier to see.  Make sure you have a variety of sizes and colors of this pattern in your box during the winter season.

The Guides Choice Hares Ear Soft Hackle has been around for a long time.  It's survived the test of time because it just flat out catches fish.  This variation of this pattern uses some materials substitutes that we believe are easier to tie with, and give you a wider variety of color choices to tie this pattern.  With this one we went with an olive color, with a hot spot head.  This pattern is deadly fished on the swing, or dead drifted because the soft hackle gives this pattern life.  Tie them up in a variety of colors and sizes,...
