Field Notes

This is a dry fly pattern meant to imitate mayfly spinners during a spinner fall. Fish it dead-drift on calm to moderate water when trout are rising to spent insects, especially on selective tailwaters and spring creeks.

Pros

  • Excellent imitation for spinner falls
  • Simple dry-fly presentation
  • Good match for PMDs, sulphurs, and similar mayflies

Cons

  • Can be ineffective when trout are not keying on spent insects
  • Small sizes can be hard to see on the water
