Fly Fishing - Tying Perfect Mayfly Duns, Emergers & Spinners

Learn to tie our 7 Perfect Mayfly Emergers, Duns and Spinners". By varying the size and color of materials according to our recipes (on the included CD) you will be able to tie over 120 highly effective specific imitations of all the important mayfly species of duns, spinners and emerging duns that trout feed on from coast to coast. A separate CD includes recipes or specific instructions for each stage of life of every important mayfly species. These are the seven (7) basic patterns: 1. Perfect TS Emerger 2. Perfect Super TS Emerger 3. Perfect Dun 4. Perfect Drake 5. Perfect Spinner 6. Perfect Drake Spinner 7. Perfect Wet Dun Emergers: Imitation can only represent the emerging insect at a specific stage at a specific time during this short interval of time. Trout take advantage of the emerging mayflies during this transition time, eating them with ease. Some mayflies emerge on the bottom or somewhere in between the bottom and the surface, and swim to the surface as duns. Our emerging combination nymph and dun, has the shuck still hanging or trailing on the almost emerged dun. The trailing shuck nymph resembles a mayfly taking a jump suit off. Our emerging adult or wet fly imitation, represents those mayflies that emerge below the surface. Spinners: When mayflies become sexually mature, they lose their dull outer covering and become what anglers call spinners. Our "S" patterns represent the spinners. Although some species of these spinners may die and fall in ripples and faster moving water, they eventually wind up concentrated in eddies or smoother flowing water such as pockets and the tail end of pools. This is usually where the trout go to take in the easy offerings. Again, our Perfect Fly imitations are selected to catch trout in the type of water that trout feed in depending upon the particular species of mayfly. Presentations made in turbulent water will drown most of our spinners. In that event, you probably presented the fly in the wrong place, but even so, that is exactly what happens to natural spinners that fall in turbulent water. They get drowned and even then, your fly is properly imitating the natural. The wings of spent spinners lie flat on the water, not upright like the duns. This fact, added to the fact that spinners float low in the surface film, make them difficult to see even in the best situations, especially the smaller spinners- the real ones and the fakes ones. Spinners are yet a different body and wing color from that of the dun,
