The tiny moving water mayfly family of Tricorythodes (or more comonly known as Tricos) make up what for what they lack in size (generally sizes 18-22) with their almost plague-like numbers. Creating swarms that can shadow the river, the expiring Trico spinners will cause even the most seasoned lunkers to rise from the depth to feed, making this last form of the adult mayfly one of the most productive for the angler to fish. When the spinner fall is light, the fish are selective, or trout are starting to follow the dead Tricos as they sink beneath the surface of the water, Matt's Lead Trico will pay dividends in the name and size of fish landed!

Matched the hatch perfectly
Ordered this fly after a day on the water seeing a lot of tricos hatching. I went out the next weekend and the tricos were coming off again and the fish we slurping them right off the surface as they came down to the water. This fly caught several nice rainbows and cutbows. The durability was there as well as the overall look and quality. Will be ordering again
