The Quigley Cripple is a fly best described by its creator, Bob Quigley:
"Spring creek fishing and flies became increasingly popular, as did the discussions of the day's frustrations when patterns didn't produce. It became apparent the emerging stages of mayfly hatches produced finicky trout. Guides and clients became increasingly frustrated at large trout refusing their offerings, while gluttonously stuffing themselves on emerging duns. This hunted me for several years, until I realized the trout were taking a combination of one-half nymph and one-half dun. In 1978 I fashioned a fly to imitate this stage, and called it a Quigley Cripple."
