Over the past couple months, we have been sharing a wonderful series of videos by Dave and Amelia Jensen, of Jensen Fly Fishing, on how to fish a spinner fall. There has never been such a comprehensive discussion of fishing these wonderful dry-fly experiences, and anyone who watches all 10 videos will be much better prepared to make the most of the limited time each spinner fall affords.
Here’s the grande finale, in which we get to watch both Dave and Amelia apply their lessons on the water. I encourage you to spend some time with each of these video, as there is a lot of information to process. I learned a lot, as I’m sure that you will.
Here’s the entire 10-part series:
- Episode I: How to Fish a Spinner Fall, Introduction
- Episode II: How to Fish a Spinner Fall: Set Up
- Episode III: Understanding Rise Forms During a Spinner Fall
- Episode IV: Fly Selection for a Spinner Fall
- Episode V: How to Cast During a Spinner Fall
- Episode VI: How to Approach Trout During a Spinner Fall
- Episode VII: How to Set the Hook on Spinner-Eating Trout
- Episode VIII: Understanding How Conditions Affect a Spinner Fall
