Q’s PMD Cripple — $1.00

Bob Quigley came up with this pattern in 1978, the intent is to have the top half of the fly reside above water while the bottom half hangs within the water column. The thorax is usually made of Antron dubbing according to the color of the mayfly. This is particularly good to use on the smaller sizes. For larger sizes and large mayflies, Bob also uses spun Deer Hair or foam to provide better floatation.The Wing is that portion of the adult that is free to manuever but is trapped.
