Two Wing Spinner

The Trico Double Wing Spinner is a highly effective dry fly pattern designed to imitate a cluster of Trico mayfly spinners, often seen during their post-mating falls. Originating from North American fly fishing traditions, this pattern capitalizes on the small size and clustered appearance of Trico spinners that trout often feed on during dense hatches. The fly's dual wing design enhances visibility for anglers and realism for trout. It works best in very small sizes, ranging from 18-20, and is versatile enough to be fished on the surface or just beneath it during a spinner fall.

Fish the Trico Double Wing Spinner on a dead drift in slow pools and slicks where trout are selectively feeding on spinners. Use light tippet (6X or 7X) to ensure a natural presentation. If trout are rising but refusing your surface presentation, try fishing it as a subsurface emerger by greasing only the tippet and letting the fly sit just below the surface film.
