If you didn't know, mayflies are like cheeseburgers. It's a long story, but I ranted about it here (EPIC cheeseburger rant)... This is another fly from the Mil Spec series that I have been playing with to mimic a mayfly that is having a hard time growing up and incorporating itself into the adult world. It likes to just hang in the film not knowing that there are hungry sharks seeking it out. Yep. I like fishing cripples. This is kind of a takeoff of the Quigley style of cripple with the classic front-facing wing and hackle. Anyway, it's a very simple, straightforward pattern that doesn't need a lot of explaining. Bring on the video!
