Whipping up some additional small May Fly ties for the Eastern Sierras that Michael can plop in a few familiar places…This pattern is specifically designed for the following water that holds a good population of these tiny critters that hatch in late May and early June. I first came across these when I was fishing with my Dad in 1977…Well, I was Fly Fishing he was looking at me between the raindrops and snow flurries…

Although I’m sure any variation of a Royal Wulff would be a producer, I’m amused by the specific stage of a non-specific (attractor) pattern! No offense meant.
As usual great looking flies!
Jim,
Actually, the Royal Wulff Cripple was designed by this guy:
