Tying Instructions

Instructions

Notes: Tail and legs are of the same bunch of woodduck flank.
Tie in the tail and leave the butts long. After tying in and wrapping the abdomen, simply split the woodduck butts, forming a
bunch of legs on each side of fly.
Tie down with a couple wraps of thread and you have instant legs.

The
Quigley cripple is a fly I've been using for quite some time on the
Beaverhead for those persnickety browns. I met The original designer,
Bob Quigley, years ago when he was operating on the Fall River in
Nothern Calif.
