The White Foam Body Hex Spinner Fly
$1.49
The White Foam Body Hex Spinner is the ultimate imitation for the spent adult stage of the Hexagenia mayfly, North America's largest mayfly species. Known for their spectacular, often nocturnal, hatches, when the "spinner fall" occurs, trout feed voraciously on these large, dead or dying insects floating on the surface. This specific pattern is tied with a highly visible white foam body and realistic white CDC feather wings splayed out in the "spent" position, perfectly mimicking the natural insect and triggering aggressive strikes during this anticipated event.
Product Features
- Realistic Imitation: The flat foam body and spent white CDC wings perfectly mimic the profile and translucent appearance of a dead or dying Hexagenia spinner, fooling even the wariest large trout.
- Extreme Buoyancy & Visibility: The foam body ensures this large fly remains afloat, even in the slick film of flat water, while the white color makes it easy to spot during the low-light conditions of dusk and dawn.
- CDC Wings: High-quality CDC feathers provide a natural, fluttering action and further enhance the realistic spent-wing profile.
- Durable Construction: Built tough to handle the large fish that key in on this substantial food source.
- Barbed Hook: Tied on a premium, ultra-sharp barbed hook designed to secure strong hook-ups.
- Optimal Sizing: Available in large sizes #6, #8, and #10, perfectly matching the actual size of the massive natural Hexagenia mayflies.
When to Use the White Foam Body Hex Spinner Fly
This fly is specifically designed for the peak of the Hexagenia hatch, a legendary time for trophy trout fishing.
- The "Spinner Fall": The primary time to use this fly is during the evening and into the night when adult male and female Hex flies mate and fall to the water's surface to die and lay eggs.
- Dusk and Dawn Fishing: The white color of the foam and wings makes this pattern highly effective during low-light conditions when the hatch typically occurs.
- Flat Water & River Mouths: Hex hatches often occur in slow-moving rivers, lake edges, and river mouths where the large insects collect. This fly shines in these calm, slick water environments.
- Trophy Trout Hunting: The Hex hatch is famous for bringing the largest trout out of hiding; use this fly when targeting your biggest fish of the season.
