This one is Ed Engle's Drowned Trico Spinner, using what I have available (differences noted). Ed says your thorax "can always be bigger" on this one, but I think mine probably did get too big and shortened my abdomen. That extra 0.5 mm sure does make a big difference visually on a 3.5 mm body.... This version is from his video, a slight variation from Tying Small Flies (yes, flyflinger, one of the great "modern" fly books, but I'm guessing his personality comes across on the video true to form, seems like a great guy). Hook - TMC 2487 (EE uses 2488H, which is much heavier but I'm gonna have to make do with my fine wire version) Thread - Gordon Griffiths 14/0 brown (EE uses a black thread) Tails - Three dun Microfibbits, split with thread Abdomen - Small black Ultrawire Wing - Aunt Lydia's white (EE uses Soap Wing Fiber, but "any white polyester will do") Thorax Black beaver dubbing (EE uses rabbit) Nice array of Tricos Chug!

Unfortunately, in three days of getting to the river at dawn, not a Trico in sight, not a nibble on any of those. Only thing that worked was a streamer, ... Thank g-d for streamers. Nice big rainbow, broke a bad skunk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
