Tricos and Terrestrials on the Gunpowder

Size 24 Trico and a real Trico mayfly

Trico’s are beginning to hatch and clear, cold, 50 degree (F) water is flowing down the Gunpowder. Fishing has been good in the mornings with dark nymphs and small midge patterns. Ants and beetles will work well throughout the day. With the beginning of the Trico emergence, stop in and grab a threader set (an easy way to tie on the tiny patterns) and a pair of flip-focals. Also make sure to check out our Trico patterns tied for us by Mike Bachkosky. 7X tippet and very long leaders will be necessary to fool the wary yet hungry wild trout.
