Trico Female Poly Spinner Dry Fly - Sizes #18 to #22 - (Pack of 3)
The Trico Female Poly Spinner Dry Fly, offered in sizes #18 to #22, is a delicate and precise imitation of the female Tricorythodes mayfly spinner. This pattern is distinguished by its slender, segmented body typically made from fine poly material, which aids in flotation and mimics the glossy abdomen of the natural insect. It's tied with a white wing that stands upright, replicating the spent wings of a spinner that has fallen to the water's surface after mating. The small size of this fly matches the diminutive stature of the actual trico mayflies, making it an essential pattern for late summer and early fall when these insects are prolific. To fish the Trico Female Poly Spinner, focus on calm, flat water where trico spinner falls occur, usually in the early morning or late evening. Cast upstream of rising fish and allow the fly to drift over them with the current. The key is achieving a drag-free drift to convincingly match the natural insects that are helplessly caught in the surface film. Patience and precision in both casting and presentation are crucial, as trout feeding on tricos can be quite selective and wary of any unnatural movement.
