    Default August Swap of the Month SOTM

    I think I'm the host for August, hot, humid and time for terrestrials, right? Wrong! Spinners! Your choice of materials and style but, it must be a spinner.

    The life cycle of the caddis fly, larva, emerger, dun, adult and spinner. The stage after laying eggs. Some times referred to as a spinner fall. They are dry flys characterized by their outstretched wings. Hope that helps.

    I have a pattern book entitled Spinners by Sylvester Nemes of Bozeman, Montana. The copyright is 1995.

    If it's OK,. I'll do one of Davie McPhail's Spent Gnats.

    Davie McPhail's Spent Gnat

    Hook: # 10 Dry Fly
    Thread: 8/0 Unithread White on extended body, and black on thorax
    Tail: Black Bucktail
    Body: White 2mm foam, with black accent on top with Prismacolor Marker.
    Hackles: Rear-Badger Neck Hackle Front: Black Neck Hackle



    I tested this out this afternoon on the Hiawassee River. I don't know about trout (I was on the upper non-trout section), but the bluegills murdered this thing. I nailed 25 in less than an hour (and just got through eating them,...mmmmmh). And the fly is still plenty fishable. These are nice and tough.

    Not to worry, Bill. I could have meant spinners, you know, silver spoon shaped things often attached to treble hooks...
