Spent Mayfly
After a mayfly mates, it dies and often falls into the water. We call this a ‘spent’ mayfly. Its life is over, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a delicious morsel for a hungry trout. Cast this fly into the fray and tempt those big, sipping browns.
Tied on a size 12 hook.

The spent mayfly looks very realistic and casts smoothly. I’ve used it in clear streams and saw a brown take immediately. It’s a simple but effective addition to my fly box.
Deirdre Buckland –
Works well in still water conditions. The hook size is perfect for my rod setup. I noticed the fly sinks slightly, which makes it good for deeper sections of the stream.
Adam Morgan –
Great detail in the imitation. My trout responded well to it, especially during early morning hours. It’s a reliable choice for targeting active fish.
