Splitsville Trico

The Splitsville Trico is a parachute-style fly pattern specifically designed to imitate Trico mayflies in faster water. Its exaggerated split tail not only enhances buoyancy but also creates a lifelike profile that attracts trout feeding on the surface. The parachute hackle ensures the fly remains visible even in turbulent runs, making it an excellent choice for larger sizes (16-18) during active hatches. The Splitsville Trico is a reliable pattern for targeting trout in riffles and faster sections of rivers, where maintaining visibility and floatation is crucial.

Fish the Splitsville Trico with a dead drift in riffles and fast seams during active Trico hatches. The enhanced buoyancy makes it ideal for holding its position in faster currents.
