RIO King Splitsville Megaspinner – Large Spinner Trout Fly
The RIO King Splitsville Megaspinner is designed for trout that are keyed in on large spent mayflies after heavy hatches. While spinner falls are often associated with smaller flies, species like Hexagenia (Hex), Isonychia (Iso), and Green Drakes produce large spinners that trout will sip confidently when conditions line up.
Built on Jonny King’s proven Splitsville Spinner platform, this larger profile excels during calm water and low-light periods when trout feed selectively on spent adults drifting helplessly on the surface. When fish are ignoring everything else and sipping quietly, the Megaspinner delivers the size and silhouette.

Fiona Ross –
Used this fly during a late spring hatch when the water was still and the trout were quiet. The large silhouette matched the spent mayflies perfectly and got a few strikes. Great for when fish are sipping on the surface.
Joshua Payne –
Felt like a natural match for the Hexagenia hatch. The drift was smooth and the fish reacted well. A solid choice for calm water fishing.
Felicity Hudson –
Caught a good trout on this spinner during a low-light morning. The size and shape were exactly what the fish were looking for after a heavy hatch.
