The Indicator Trico Spinner Dry Fly is a specialized pattern designed for one of fly fishing's most challenging yet rewarding events: the Trico spinner fall. Tricorythodes mayflies are tiny, and when they gather in massive swarms during the early morning hours and fall spent onto the water, trout key in exclusively on them. This specific pattern is tied with a highly visible post (indicator) to help the angler track the nearly microscopic fly in the low morning light, while still providing the realistic, spent-wing profile needed to fool the wary trout that feed during this hatch.
Product Features
- Realistic Spent Wing Profile: Features splayed wings that accurately mimic the posture of a dead or dying Trico spinner trapped in the surface film.
- High Visibility Post: Includes a bright, buoyant indicator post that makes tracking this tiny fly possible in low light conditions.
- Optimal Floatation: Tied to sit correctly in the surface film, mirroring how the natural insect appears to rising trout.
- Essential Color: Black is the necessary color to match the dark body of the natural Trico spinner.
- Tiniest Sizing: Available in essential small sizes #18 and #20, matching the minute size of these crucial insects.
When to Use the Indicator Trico Spinner Dry Fly
This fly is crucial for specific technical situations when trout are focused on the morning Trico spinner fall.
- Early Morning: The prime time for this fly is dawn and the hours immediately following, when the Trico spinner fall occurs.
- Flat, Calm Water: Trico hatches thrive in slow-moving rivers, tailwaters, and calm lake edges where the tiny insects collect.
- Picky Trout: Trout feeding on Tricos are often the most selective fish you'll encounter; a realistic imitation like this is necessary.
- Massive Hatches: When thousands of these tiny flies cover the water, this pattern is essential for matching the hatch.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.
NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
