Trico imitation?

Not exactly John but close! I’ll be working on a few Trico’s tomorrow and this weekend. I hope your season is going well.

Very cool. Caddis? Terrestrial? Seems a really interesting mix of the Matthews’ X-Caddis, Adams Irresistible, and a Goddard caddis. What size, approx?

I tied these on a standard length #11 hook. I was shown this fly and told that it lived up to it’s name. Something about the extended body sitting in the surface film must set the trout off. I believe it imitates a stonefly more than anything but I am going to chuck it like a general attactor dry fly, hang a dropper off the end and fish it similar to a Stimulator, I expect it will take a few trout.

Very nice fly…much like the rest of your patterns. I agree it reminds me of an adams. I look forward to seeing your trico creations…

WFF,
Been looking through your writings and photos for a long time and really enjoy everything you have done here. You have a great site and your ties are fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Ben, I’ll check your site out. Curious whats going on with your wanderings… I take alot of pride in my flies and I have a bit of OCD making for a bit of a perfectionist, sometimes I wonder if they were just thrown together how they would perform in comparison.

Thanks Paul, I have the Trico’s coming soon. I hope I can get on a few good hours of that in the next month. This was a fun fly for me to tie. Take care.
