A low-riding, ultra-natural mayfly spinner for evening falls and picky trout. The Rusty Spinner’s slender body and outstretched, spent wings create the classic “spent” silhouette that fools fish sipping in glassy tailouts and along soft seams.
-
When it excels: Dusk to dark during or after mayfly hatches; calm slicks, tailouts, and foam lines
-
Why it works: Rusty hue matches many spent mayflies; flat, spent-wing profile sits in the film for a dead-drifted, natural look
-
Pack size: 3 flies
-
Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
-
Ready to fish: Sparse tie, clean spent-wing silhouette, durable wraps
How to fish it
Use a long leader with fine tippet and make down-and-across reach casts to feed slack; keep drifts drag-free and treat only the wings/body lightly with floatant. If you get refusals, lengthen tippet and go sparser on dressing.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Refresh floatation with powder/shake desiccant as needed.
Satisfaction
30-day returns/exchanges.
