Fluorescent Para-Spinner
Neon spent spinner
Trout · GraylingSurface
Fluorescent post makes it visible to you when visibility matters. The spent-wing pattern underneath does the work — the fluorescence is just honest admiration of the idea that you might want to see your fly.
Fish this when
Summer evenings on chalk streams during spinner falls. Fish it where spent spinners collect in the slack water, often in low light.
Why it works
Fluorescent post is visible to the angler through dusk and fading light. The spent-wing pattern does the real work when trout are selective on spinners.
