Fly Pattern & Fishing Details

The Sparkle Spinner profile is a pattern we use in a few different fishing scenarios. It's a solid choice throughout the spinner fall and also fishes well when trout are feeding sporadically on spent mayflies and remnants that are being blown into the banks on breezy days. The fly is a classic pattern that has a natural low profile and is highly attractive to fish picking out scraps in softer water.
