When the Green Drakes (the largest of the may flies) hatches, it’s the trout- and grayling fly fisher’s best chance for some of the river’s largest fish on a dry fly. US based flytyer and flyfisher Mike Beckley loves dryflies and will in this video demonstrate his favorite pattern of the green drake in a cripple version. Mike says about the fly “The green drake is a very large dryfly, so be carefully not going too out of control in the proportions. Durability is key and tied well the Green Drake Cripple has a big profile fly that is going to present itself still very delicacy and hopefully fool the fish you are in search of.”
