Troutline Tactical Brown CDC BL Spinner

When trout and grayling turn selective, the Troutline Tactical Brown CDC BL Spinner is the fly that turns refusals into confident takes. Expertly tied using premium CDC for both the body and wings, this pattern delivers exceptional realism and floatability — essential when fish are feeding on spent mayflies.

The wings are fixed in a spent position at 120 degrees, perfectly imitating a lifeless mayfly caught on the water surface. Combined with a subtly colored brown CDC body, this fly produces an ultra-natural silhouette and the perfect water print when presented in front of feeding fish — a key trigger that often seals the deal with wary trout or grayling.

Key Features:

• Full CDC construction (body and wings) for maximum realism and float

• Spent-wing profile (120° angle) mimics dead or dying mayflies

• Natural brown tones match many mayfly species

• Delivers a lifelike water imprint that draws confident strikes

• Ideal for both fast-flowing and calm river sections

When to Use It:
This fly performs exceptionally well from late spring to early autumn, especially during or after mayfly hatches and spinner falls. It is particularly effective from May to September across most European rivers and streams.
