recipe

when matched with a blizzard hatch where your dry fly is one in a million?

try a cripple pattern. It immitates an emerger stuck in its shuck. if you were a trout would you go for an emerged adult that could fly away or one that is "crippled" and a guaranteed meal?

these can be tied in any size or color to match you local mayflies

PMDs, Drakes, baetis, any of the sort
