I fished with these flies in May\/June of the last few seasons to test them out, and was amazed at the results. We supply two of each fly in two sizes (10's \u0026amp; 12's), in total there are 16 flies supplied in our eco-friendly packaging. All of these flies are hand-tied using barbless hooks, in sizes 10 and 12, using quality materials. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDescriptions and photos of the flies can be found below:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMayfly Nymph -\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA Mayfly nymph imitation in dark olive and weighted with a bead to help this large fly sink.

With its looped wing behind the thorax, this fly just needs a little floatant (easily added to the loop) and it will float all day! A great imitation of the Mayfly. This fly also proved to be very effective from mid-May until mid-July.

The spinner is an easy target for Trout, and they can gorge on them in the early evenings.
