The evening spinner fall of iron-blue and dark olives, when naturals lie spent and flush in the film at the last light.
Why it works
Flat, spent wings match the exhausted, wings-out posture of a spinner that's finished laying and died on the water, giving fish an easy, motionless target after a day of dodging drag.
