Hackle Stacker Rusty Spinner
Cheech - June 2025
In the past few years I have been able to share the water with some very good anglers that I respect a lot. When I get these opportunities to fish with these guys, I like to try to observe how they fish, how they set up their gear, and most of all what flies they have confidence in. Chris Walker and Wayne Peterson from Rio Products are these guys, and techie fishing is their game. On most of our outings i'd notice that a good old Rusty spinner seemed to be the fly that no fish could resist so I decided to make it more complicated - SHOCKER! I have wanted to play with a spinner wing on a hackle stacker for quite a while, and this was a good opportunity to do it… This fly can be modified to multiple sizes and hatches if you have enough patience! Big shout out to Chris and Wayne for putting up with us on their prized waters!
