Trico Spinner, Black

The Black Trico Spinner imitates the male spinner of Tricorythodes mayflies, a tiny species that hatches in enormous numbers in late summer and fall. The black body and horizontal wings match the spent spinner stage that floats dead on the surface.

History:
Trico spinner falls can be massive and extremely technical. This pattern, typically tied in sizes 20–26, has become essential for matching these hatches, particularly on spring creeks and tailwaters. It emerged in the late 20th century with the rise of micro-pattern innovation.
