In this video, Simon connects a “Rusty Spinner” dry fly. This fly pattern is an important pattern in a summer season angler’s box. It efficiently imitates the invested Spinner phase of Pale Morning/Evening Duns in the West, and Sulphurs in the Midwest and out East. Sparsely connected, this pattern efficiently mimics a range of smaller sized invested mayflies.
Mayflies go through numerous transformations in their life. The most extreme is the nymph to Dun or Subimago shift where they shed their nymphal shuck and end up being a winged grownup. Some anglers do not understand that mayflies go through a 2nd transformation where they molt in stream-side plant life or in the air to end up being sexually fully grown grownups called Spinners, or Imagoes. These Spinners or Imagoes are frequently more rust colored thus the name of the pattern “Rusty Spinner”. After this transformation, grownups will collect in clusters dancing up and down frequently above the river. After mating and transferring eggs, they will be up to the river dead or “invested”. Fish type in on this and spinner falls can bring a few of the biggest fish of the summer season to the surface area for dries. They understand they will have access to susceptible pests that will not get away from them frequently under lower light. Whether they’re ignored or kept tight lipped, a Rusty Spinner is a fly you constantly desire in your box throughout the summer season time.
