Tricorythodes/Trico Spinner
Last week we tied the Trico Dun. This week we will tie it’s more popular stage the spinner.
These are fished in the same water where we fish the dun. They are perhaps more productive than the dun. You do not want to miss a chance to fish a Trico spinner fall, it really gets the fish up and feeding. Since these are such small morsels the fish rise more frequently and for a somewhat longer time than they do on the larger mayflies.
