Trico Time...

The last few weeks I have been fishing over some nice early morning trico hatches ..The fishing has been very good at times with early morning risers and cooperative fish...The hatch is an early one occurring around 7:30 am and lasting up to a few hours...The spinner falls occur almost immediately and at times there is an overlap of the emergence and the spinner fall...

I have been having success with a parachute size 20-22 and a size 22 black beadhead nymph or size 22 pheasant tail on a dropper 24-30in below the dry...It has been about a 60/40 nymph to dry catch ratio..

Stealth is absolutely necessary, the streams are clear and low and these fish have been getting alot of pressure from not only fishermen but natural predators as well with this seasons conditions...
