Trico – Poly Wing Spinner
Designed for technical trout fishing during heavy spinner falls, the Trico – Poly Wing Spinner imitates spent Tricorythodes mayflies resting naturally in the surface film. The highly visible poly wing helps anglers track the fly on the water while maintaining the delicate profile needed to fool selective trout.
This proven pattern excels during dense morning spinner falls from mid-summer through fall, especially in calm water and slow-moving currents where trout feed carefully on tiny surface insects. An essential fly for tailwaters, spring creeks, and technical dry fly situations.

Used this fly during a morning spinner fall on a spring creek. The poly wing made it easy to see the fly on the surface, and the realistic profile fooled the trout. Great for slow-moving water conditions.

Felt the fly worked well in calm tailwater conditions. The visibility helped me adjust my casting, and trout took it naturally. A solid choice for technical fishing.
