Rusty Spinner Parachute

The Rusty Spinner Parachute imitates spent or dying adult mayflies—especially PMDs, Sulphurs, and Cahills—which take on a reddish-brown or rusty hue during spinner falls. The parachute form offers realistic presentation and visibility during low-light fishing.

History:
Rusty spinner patterns became critical as anglers began targeting evening spinner falls on clear rivers. The parachute version gained popularity in the 1980s–90s for its superior presentation on glassy water. It remains essential for twilight mayfly hatches.
