Traditional Hex Spinner Dry Fly
$1.99
The Traditional Hex Spinner Dry Fly is a time-tested pattern designed for one specific, highly anticipated event: the Hexagenia mayfly spinner fall. When these massive mayflies have mated and fallen spent onto the water's surface, trout begin one of the most aggressive feeding binges of the season. This fly perfectly mimics the classic "spent" or "dead" position of the natural insect using traditional materials like hackle and durable wing materials splayed out horizontally, offering a reliable, high-floating target for trophy trout during low light conditions.
Product Features
- Classic Spent Wing Profile: Features traditionally splayed wings that lie flat on the water, perfectly replicating the posture of a dead or dying Hexagenia spinner.
- High Visibility Design: The light-colored wings and body remain highly visible on the water's surface film, an essential feature for tracking strikes during the low light of dusk and night fishing.
- Optimal Floatation: Tied to sit correctly in the surface film, ensuring a natural, drag-free drift that fools even the wariest large fish.
- Durable Construction: Expertly tied with robust materials to handle the demands of big fish and multiple hook-ups.
- Trophy Sizing: Available in large sizes #6, #8, and #10, matching the size of North America's largest mayflies.
When to Use the Traditional Hex Spinner Dry Fly
This fly is built for the peak of the Hexagenia hatch, a legendary time for targeting trophy-sized trout.
- During the Spinner Fall: The ideal fly to use during the evening and into the night when adult Hex flies mate and fall to the water's surface.
- Dusk and Night Fishing: This pattern excels during low-light conditions, providing the necessary visibility for the angler when the hatch is most intense.
- Slow Water/Lake Environments: Perfect for the slick, calm water of lakes, ponds, and slow river pools where Hex hatches primarily occur.
- Trophy Trout Hunting: Use this fly when large, often nocturnal, trout come out to feed voraciously on this substantial food source.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.
NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
