This fly performs well in the morning when March Browns are active. The long shank helps with casting distance and the rust color blends naturally with the water. I’ve used it successfully on several streams and it’s become a go-to for big mayflies.
Neil Underwood –
The hackle gives a good flash in the water, and the 2xl shank makes it easy to cast without tangles. Works well in moderate currents. A bit heavy for small streams, but great for larger rivers.
Joshua Taylor –
I caught several fish using this spinner during a late spring outing. The pattern mimics the movement of real mayflies and stays on the surface well. Highly recommended for big mayfly season.
