Spinners are the adult stage of mayfly life involved in reproduction. Our selection focuses on spent-wing spinners, when mayflies are literally ‘dropping like flies’.
There are many times when fish feed exclusively on the ‘spinner fall’—it offers an easy and abundant food source.
The PMD, or Pale Morning Dun, is a prolific hatch and a key pattern for fly fishers across the country.
Spinners are egg-laying adults and represent a critical phase in the mayfly life cycle.

Kevin Reid –
The PMD spinner matches the natural hatch perfectly. I caught several trout during a morning spin during a dry season. The action was natural and the fish took it right away.
Karen McDonald –
Used this spinner during a spring hatch. The presentation was smooth and the fish were actively feeding. A reliable pattern for spinner falls.
Phil Hamilton –
Great match for the morning drop. I’ve used it in both still and moving water. The size and weight are just right for the spinner fall behavior.
