[From front jacket flap] SPINNERS is the first book on fly fishing which deals solely with the subject of adult mayflies . . . their dates of appearance, their molting and mating habits and their colors, shapes and sizes. From more than three years collecting, identifying and studying spinners in the fertile and famous trout areas of Montana, Michigan, Idaho and Yellowstone National Park, the author has designed more than thirty new spinner fly patterns. All the flies, from a miniature Trico to the gigantic Michigan Hexagenia, are quick and easy to tie from readily available materials and with a new winging method which has been trade-marked by the author. New patterns, like Syl's Gold Plated Spinner and Syl's Gold Tail Spinner are highly productive during a spinner 'fall' and, according to the author, can also be fished effectively during a hatch of duns. There are also instructions for tying and fishing the 'dun/spinner', a new double duty trout fly with the body of the spinner and the wings of the dun. The problem of fishing small flies has also been solved in this milestone book with a set of 'double' flies, two small flies tied on larger hooks for better visibility and better hooking. Cover: Tricorythodes minutus, male: black and white striped, female: pale yellow. N° de ref. del artículo 20220624006
