Determine if trout are taking attenuatta or if cornuta is responsible for the feeding activity. If they are attenuata, are they taking them on the surface or just under the film. Adjust your fly pattern accordingly.

Spinners fall at dusk but are probably insignificant due to the other more dominate hatches which occurs this time of year.
