Brown Sundown Spinner Dry Freshwater Hook : 14 -22. Thread : Olive or brown 6/0. Tail : Moose hair tips. Body : Brown WASPI dubbing mix. Wings : White Hi-Vis. Back : Yellow foam. Thorax : Brown WASPI dubbing mix.
Tying Instructions 1) Tie in thread at hook bend, creating a little lump at start of bend. 2) Tie in two moose mane hair tips as you wind the thread up the hairs towards the lump of thread at the bend the hairs with flare out at an angle. 3) Dubbing on a body of whatever dubbing you like. Possum/Antron blend works for me. 4) At the thorax tie in the end of a piece of foam. 5) Tie in spent wings of Hi-Vis. 6) Dub your thorax with the same material used in body. 7) Fold over foam and tie off behind hook eye. 8) Trim excess foam and tie off thread.
Fly Notes This is a Skip Morris fly from his book "Tying Foam Flies". Have had success with black versions #18 when small black trico spinners (#22) were all over the place on the Coxs River above Lake Lyell one lovely afternoon. Even though a little larger then the natural the fish were kind enough to accommodate me (that day anyway).
