A dedicated spinner pattern for tough times: tied on a #28

Useful for fish taking sunken spinners, this tiny spider tying has a wire ribbed body:

Although imitating a different stage of their life-cycle, a paradun can also work well durng spinner falls:
There are some nice synthetic materials which can be used to hint at the glistening wings of the spinner:

Dave,
What can you tell us about this French leader system, and how you fish it? My river is very low now, and idea's are worth a look?
Regards,
Richard.
Richard, I will writemore soon when I do a post on French Nymphing - but in effect it is a long leader - may be 9m of leader material - and using small flies pitched upstream and allowed to come round on a tensioned line. No fly line needed at all. Best fished on longer rods. The flies are flicked / placed forwards - not casting in its truest sense. It is very effective and very sensitive.
I will write more soon. Where are you based? If you're any where near me you're more than welcome to join me on the river and take a look.
~D
