    When many fly fishermen think of mayfly spinners they envision a run full of rising fish feeding on the lifeless floating spinners as they float downriver. For many of us fishing for rising fish is our favorite technique but fishing spinner falls can be very challenging, especially the predictable and months long Trico spinner fall. The traditional approach has always been to fish a spinner pattern flush in the surface film. This can be effective but also is very challenging. If the lighting isn’t perfect seeing your fly is difficult. If you can’t see your fly you cannot see a fish take it, you are not sure if the cast is accurate and you cannot see if little micro currents are creating drag. The natural spinners are motionless and any drag on your fly guarantees a fish will not take it.

    I eliminated all three of the inherent problems when fishing a floating spinner with a technique I developed on the Missouri River when fishing a Trico spinner fall. I used a drowned spinner pattern on about 8 inches of 6x fluorocarbon tied to the hook bend of a black bodied Vis A Dun. With the highly visible dry fly, I could monitor the cast for accuracy and drag and it served as an indicator when a fish took the drowned spinner and some fish took the dry fly. The technique proved to be extremely effective for any spinner fall including rusty spinners and I have successfully used the technique on rivers throughout the West. If spinners falls have been occurring but not while you are fishing, a drowned spinners is a good choice when setting up a nymph or hopper-copper-dropper rig. The spinners are a familiar forage for the trout and they won’t hesitate to eat one subsurface. Baetis mayflies do not have a true spinner fall because the female accompanied by the male crawl under the water to lay their eggs, then they die and are carried downriver. . No doubt trout eat countless drowned Baetis spinners and a drowned rusty spinner is an excellent choice when Baetis have been hatching.

    “The Graveyard Baetis was originally developed out of a need for a highly visible baetis pattern for use during heavy emergence/hatches of baetis on the Bighorn River in southeast Montana.

    The success of my Graveyard Midge led me to incorporate the open cell foam on the back and wing buds to a pattern inspired by the baetis patterns of John Barr and Juan Ramirez.

    The fusion of the overall silhouette of Barr’s Emerger and Ramirez’s slender abdomen along with the bulbous and highly visible thorax and wing buds of my Graveyard proved to be a big hit with trout.

    By using the wide gap, short shank, 1X heavy TMC2457 the final iteration of Graveyard Baetis, and the later Graveyard PMD has helped to get more trout to the net.

    The Graveyard Baetis and PMD can be fished from near the surface alone or behind a high floating dry to near the bottom as part of a Euro rig.”

    SKU: NFD9871

    Sizes: 18 and 22

    “The Massacre Midge was a fly that I had been working on for years. I was trying to create a fly that would work as a midge emerger as well as a baetis emerger.

    Most of the time during the winter, fall and spring we will see hatches of midges and baetis coming off on the same day.

    Having a fly that works equally well for both hatches afforded me and my clients more time fishing and not changing flies.

    I also needed a fly that had a little more detail than the flies that I was fishing, the segmentation in the Massacre Midge adds a hint of realism which has proven to be deadly for fooling double digit tailwater fish.

    The small vail of dubbing adds movement to the bug and the foam on the head makes the fly ride upright just like the naturals do.

    I will fish the Massacre Midge when I am nymphing in the middle of the water column and near the surface.

    As the hatch progresses, I will add the Massacre Midge as a dropper off of a midge or BWO dry fly. In the size 18 the Massacre Midge also works great as a caddis emerger.

    With three colors and sizes 18-24 you can fish this bug year-round and in a multitude of situations.”
