The Best Anglers Never Stop Learning
Cranefly
Easy - 3-5 Min
Coldwater
This simple little streamer can imitate a cranefly larvae well. Fish it under an indicator or tight line it through deeper holes where trout will be holding.
If you tie in other colors it imitates a great little minnow or shiner.
This fly is so cheap and easy to tie you should never run out of them. Pass some out to friends in different sizes and colors!
Fish this fly as a nymph or streamer. If you are nymphing pair it with some split shot on your leader to get it down to the bottom.
You also can swing or strip this fly. Find some current where trout are holding and swing at the head of the pool or cast up from the rear.
