Overview

The Umpqua Pearl-Butt Trico Spinner is a refined and highly effective pattern designed to match one of the smallest yet most important hatches in fly fishing—the Trico spinner fall. Built with precision and attention to detail, this fly uses a subtle pearl butt to create just the right amount of flash, imitating the reflective quality of a natural spinner’s abdomen without spooking selective trout. The slender body profile, combined with realistic spent wings, perfectly mimics the posture of a trico spinner resting on the water’s surface. Whether you’re fishing late-summer mornings during heavy spinner falls or targeting picky risers in slow, clear water, this pattern delivers consistent results. Tied on a strong, sharp hook to maximize hookups, it is equally effective on spring creeks, tailwaters, and technical freestone rivers where small flies are the key to success. The Pearl-Butt Trico Spinner is a must-have for anglers who value subtlety, realism, and dependable performance during challenging micro-mayfly hatches.Read More +
