Coffin Fly
Ghost-white drake spinner
Trout · GraylingSurface
The ghostly white spent spinner of the Eastern Green Drake — the evening fall that follows the dun emergence.
Fish this when
At dusk following the Green Drake dun hatch, when the huge white spinner fall brings the biggest fish of the season up to feed on rich eastern rivers.
Why it works
Its stark white, spent-wing bulk is unmistakable in fading light and matches a natural that triggers some of the most reckless feeding of the whole mayfly season.
