About this video:

Fly fishing with small dry flies can feel intimidating, but it’s one of the most effective ways to catch trout when fish are feeding on tiny insects. In this episode of the Untangled Fly Fishing Podcast, we break down how to fish small flies with confidence, including when trout prefer small patterns, how to approach tough dry fly fishing conditions, and why cripple patterns can often outperform standard dry flies during a hatch. This is Part 1 of a two-part series on fishing small flies, where we focus on the fundamentals of fishing tiny dry flies and explain why cripples are one of the most reliable flies you can carry in your box. Whether you’re fishing midges, small mayflies, or technical dry fly water, this episode will help you understand when to fish small flies and how to get more trout to eat them.
