Inny Spent
The Inny Spent is an old Spent Mayfly pattern from Lough Erne.
It is unusual in that it has a tail composed of teal flank fibres.
For all your spent gnat fishing on river or lake, you need go no further than this group of patterns which have proven themselves on all the great limestone lakes, such as Lough Erne
Advice for use
Spent gnat fishing is a great time for fly fishermen on the great lakes of the Republic of Ireland, West, (Loughs Leane, Mask, Corrib, Carra, Conn, Cullin, Arrow, Melvin), Central (Loughs Ree, Derg and Ennell) and North East (Lough Sheelin) and Ulster (Lough Erne).
Once the mating cycle is complete with aerial coupling in spectacular pendular flights, the mayflies lay their eggs in the surface film of the lakes (and rivers) and then die, floating on the surface, wings flat, gathered in large numbers, often thousands, by the play of currents and wind.
They are easy and numerous prey for the trout which come to suck them delicately.
The fishing action, which is very discreet in terms of the approach, the presentation and the finesse of the rigs, generally takes place at dusk and lasts as long as there is still some light in the sky.
It is then crucial to have a selection of the best spent gnat imitations.
Northern Irish fly tyer Frankie McPhillips produces the best of the best in the market for this type of fishing with half a dozen original and traditional versions, used successfully by the lough fly fishing community in Ireland.
A must for those who love Ireland and its beautiful lake trout.
