Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} So what's the deal with cripple flies?

I don’t think Hans will appreciate you saying his creation doesn’t look like a real caddisfly, at least to trout.

I suspect most fish think our flies are cripples, stuck, or otherwise deformed bugs versus that actual things they supposedly imitate.  If you think this looks like a real caddisfly, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona....

If you extend the logic of fishing cripples to streamers, everyone should be tying the light wing on top, an the dark wing underneath, since that would be consistent with a minnow in the throes of death (or doing the backstroke, I guess).
