I doubt it will actually be useful on the water, but still funny.

Is it meant for you to see or the fish?
Who makes it??

I was thinking me - to help fish after dark for a spinner fall. It would prob just scare the hell out of the fish, unless they're chomping on some lightening bugs.
I tied the spent wings with EP fiber as a bottom to create the structure and then the glo yarn on the top. So, in theory, it's less visible from below.
Truthfully, I only did it because I just today realized this spool was glow in the dark. Must've picked it up randomly in a lot of thread at some point.

Tie the spinner as a parachute and make the post from glow yarn or just add a glow post to a traditional spinner.

Refilled my nymph box the past few days. I like to tie a lot of patterns to experiment with at different times of the year. I have a separate box with sz 20/22 nymphs. This box is primarily sz 16 hooks with bead sizes ranging from 2.5-4.0 mm. I also have a few weightless nymphs and soft hackles in this box and my other box. What else would you add? Looking to tie some more blowtorches soon.
As I always say - I put my flies in "backwards" because its easier for me to get them in/out this way with cold hands
