Eastern Pale Evening Dun
Spinner:
Mating takes place near the banks and vegetation. Female spinners usually fall
just about dark, but sometimes not in great numbers. If it is very cloudy or raining
lightly, you may be able to fish it. The spinner fall starts earlier under these types
of conditions.
The males rarely fall on the water. You should fish the heads of pools and eddies
where the spent spinners tend to congregate. The spinners are almost
impossible to see on the water. If there has been a good hatch, there will be a
good spinner fall.
Spinner Presentation:
A down or down and across presentation of the spinner that is allowed to drift
into the calmer water is usually the best method of presentation. In the slower
moving water, the idea is to let the trout see the fly before you spook them with
your leader, tippet or fly line. That means long, light leaders should be used. It is
often necessary to go to a 6X or even a 7X tippet to be successful.
If it is near dark, you may want to place a more visible parachute type fly about
two feet ahead of the spinner. This will help you detect the takes easier.
