Cluster Caenis

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

After a meeting with the anglers curse last night, I really need a pattern for caenis spinners. I would love to have some input, especially on cluster patterns. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Gave it a go, it's just a prototype and looks like shit, but if it works it will save me a lot of swearing...

i dont have a luster pattern, but when they're on the curse i like to put on a sparkler booby and rip it back through them on an intermediate. It works.

Hi Petter,

 

That is a nice pattern but looks a bit involved. The only cluster pattern for spinners that I tie, I will describe.

 

To the hook shank I tie tail fibers out over the rear and eye of the hook in opposite directions. I then attach two sets of spent wings perpendicular to the shank and splitting the shank into 3 equal lengths. Use any kind of wing material you like. What you used above looks to be fine, I might decrease the amount of material for the wing though. Then just dub the shank your material or color of choice. Basically you have tied what looks like 2 flies facing each other. Very simple, effective, casts nice and rides smooth on the surface.
