CDC Blue Winged Olive Cripple- Strike Fly Company
The CDC BWO Cripple is a deadly imitation of a mayfly struggling in the surface film. This fly is designed to sit low so it consistently fools selective fish. Fish it solo, behind a small dry, or as the lead fly in a dry-dropper setup during Blue WInged Olive hatches.
Best for: slow water where trout feed confidently on emerging olives, effective during cloudy, rainy, and low light conditions.
Strike Fly Company began in 2017 with a dream to provide high-quality fishing flies that help anglers succeed on the water. We started with 10 fly patterns, and have grown to offer more than 300 fly patterns. Whether you’re picking up a fly rod for the first time or you’ve been fishing streams for decades, our flies and assortments are crafted to give you confidence with every cast. Strike Fly Company is proudly run by my wife and I out of our Lancaster, PA home. Thank you for supporting our small business!
