Description

The "Drowned Trico" or "Spinner" fly pattern is a delicate imitation designed to replicate the Trico mayfly (Tricorythodes) in its submerged or drowning stage. Originating from North American fly-fishing traditions, this pattern was developed to target trout feeding on Trico spinners during their fall to the water after mating. Its slender and minimalist design closely mimics the natural insect's appearance, making it particularly effective in late summer and early fall when Trico hatches are prolific.

Pro Tip

Use light tippet and present this fly just under the water's surface to mimic the natural behavior of the drowning mayfly.
