RS2 Trico with Tails Split 3 Ways

Описание: Trico RS2 Sparkle Wing

There are some really good dry fly fisherman around here that come out during the Trico hatch. It is fun to watch them work their magic. While we don’t ever expect to be at their level, there are a few patterns and techniques that have helped us during this prolific hatch. While a black RS2 Sparkle Wing and a black Smokejumper are two of our favorites, changing flies often during this hatch should be expected. The sheer number of bugs is daunting, making iteration a key to success. Prior to the spinners, we’ve found that fishing multiple stages of the insect can also be very helpful. The RS2 Sparkle Wing can be fished deep as well as in the surface film. The Smokejumper can also be fished this way. Both fish well as a trailer behind a larger Trico adult or Parachute Adams.

Below is an RS2 Sparkle wing recipe that we like…btw, we’ve included three different methods for splitting tails. There’s no one way to do this…find the way that works best for you.
