Cranefly Larva
The cranefly does not fit into one of the neat categories of nymphs. This could be part of the reason they are most often ignored by fly fishers.
They are enormously common in the Pacific Northwest, California, and the UK, as well as other regions. They are very common on smaller streams.

I’ve been using this larva pattern in small stream fishing and it’s responded well to the local water conditions. It’s a subtle imitation that matches the natural behavior of the larvae in the stream.
Alan Bailey –
Found it useful during a recent trip to the Pacific Northwest. The detail in the pattern matches the actual larva, and it’s easy to tie on.

Great for targeting smaller streams where other nymphs don’t work well. The natural movement and color match makes it stand out in the water.
