Sulphur Spinner

Warm-evening spinner fall
Trout · GraylingSurface

Pale-orange spent Sulphur spinner of the warm-evening fall.

Fish this when

The tail end of a warm evening, once Sulphur duns have given way to the spinner fall over slower pools and current seams.

Why it works

The rust-orange body matches the spinner's warm abdomen tone at dusk, while the clear, flush-lying wings mimic the glassy spent posture naturals take once the mating flight is over — a different silhouette from the upright dun that preceded it.
