Used this fly during a late summer spin cycle on the Madison River and got consistent bites. The pattern looks natural and matches the local Epeorus albertae well. A reliable choice for spinner hatches.

Felt the Pink Lady Spinner worked well during a Sulphur hatch. The color and shape are accurate and it responded well to a dry fly presentation. Slight variation in size might help for different water conditions.
