Last Chance Cripple

René Harrop's Last Chance Cripple imitates a mayfly that failed to fully emerge, trapped half-in, half-out of its nymphal shuck. Named after Idaho's Last Chance, this pattern is devastating on Henry's Fork and any other water where trout feed selectively on vulnerable emergers.
