Trico Spinner
The Trico Spinner imitates the spent Tricorythodes spinner fall — one of the most technical and rewarding dry fly events of the year. Trout line up in pods and sip hundreds of tiny, white-winged spinners from the surface in predictable feeding lanes.

Fishing tips
Trico spinner falls occur early morning. Fish to rising fish with pinpoint accuracy — 6x or 7x tippet is essential. A trailing shuck version can outperform the standard.
