PetterG 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 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! Petter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biginjapan 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 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. Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
