This Mayfly Spinner Imitation is one of my go to flies throughout the trout fishing season, especially during the PMD Hatch and the Callibaetis Hatch. This slender nymph pattern uses a small bead and copper wire for the head and body of the fly. I have tied this Mayfly Spinner Pattern in rust color, yellow. brown, and even red all with great success.
