Here on the local spring creeks of Paradise Valley the late evening spinner falls are ignored by 97% of the anglers. Generally, by the time the spinners come down and hit the water, most of the anglers have left the creeks. But those few who do stay are amply rewarded with some of the finest dry fly action of the day.
Gotta love those spinners, and, not be intimidated by them. I use a Parasol Emerger fly trailed by my spinner imitation. Doesn’t spook the feeding fish and gives me the general area of the spinner pattern. Thanks for the well researched and experienced reporting on the PMD lifecyle. This is great fun and I read every edition with great anticipation and appreciation for what I’m learning from what you’re sharing. I thought I knew quite a bit about this mayfly, but your informative articles have been wonderful in expanding my knowledge by filling in some gaps.
I hope others on the board are taking the time to become educated as well.
Thanks, again.
Kelly.
