McKittrick's Drowned Spinner Grey

McKittrick’s Drowned Spinner – Grey - Subtle spinner imitation for technical trout waters.

McKittrick’s Drowned Spinner in Grey (#20) is a delicate and precise pattern designed to imitate spent mayfly spinners that have become trapped just below the surface. Its slim, natural grey body and realistic silhouette make it an excellent choice during spinner falls, when trout feed selectively on drowned insects drifting subsurface. Perfect for technical rivers and tailwaters, this small, subtle fly is highly effective on wary trout in clear water. Fished on a dead drift or in tandem with a dry fly, McKittrick’s Drowned Spinner Grey #20 is a proven hatch-matcher.

A: Drift Outfitters carries a complete selection of trout flies for every fishing situation — including dry flies, nymphs, streamers, and emergers. Whether you’re matching the hatch on small creeks or targeting big trout on lakes, our curated collection covers all water types and seasons.

Q: How do I choose the right trout fly for the conditions?
A: The best fly depends on what trout are feeding on and where you’re fishing. Use dry flies for surface feeders, nymphs for subsurface drifts, and streamers to imitate baitfish or leeches. Pay attention to water clarity, insect activity, and local hatch charts to make the right choice.

A: We stock a mix of locally tied and premium commercial flies from trusted tiers and suppliers. Each pattern is hand-tied to Drift Outfitters’ quality standards using strong hooks and durable materials for reliable performance on the water.

Q: Which brands of trout flies do you carry?

Q: How should I store my trout flies?
A: Keep your flies organized in a fly box. After fishing, let wet flies dry before storing to prevent rust and material damage. Proper storage keeps your flies sharp, dry, and ready for your next trip.
