Sparkle Dun Trico

Sparkle Dun Trico

Sparkle Dun Tricos
Size: 20 & 22
This classic Trico Comparadun, tied with bleached costal deer hair, is a favorite lead fly dun imitation in a two fly trico rig. The bleached deer hair wing floats well and keeps the fly’s body in the correct position on the water It also allows anglers spot the fly easily.

Trico Spinner
Size: 24
This poly-wing female trico spinner is perfect for days where trout are keying on small female trico spinners. This simple but effective pattern is always in my trico box.

Biot Body Spinner
Size: 24
This male spinner has UV fibers added to the wing to add a bit of glimmer to the wing. Sometimes, I believe this added twist helps trout pick this spinner over the 500 other bugs per square foot that the fly is floating through. Also works well slightly sunk just below the water’s surface. The biot body is wrapped reverse style to accentuate the segmentation in the body of this mayfly.

CDC Biot Trico Spinner
Size: 22
The biot body on this pattern is wrapped smooth, giving this pattern a nice sheen and the subtle look of segmentation. The pure CDC wing shows great profile on the water as well as floats the fly well. I love CDC.
