8/18/2013 Trico's still #1

Spring Creek and Bald Eagle are going strong with Trico's this Sunday morning, maybe the best so far this year, cold and with a bit of fog will bring them on the water for an extened period of time and the fish stay up and eat big time. If it's hot and sunny be perpared to get to the stream very early because the emergence and spinner fall happen fast due to the drying effect the atmosphere has on the Trico's bodies but if it's cloudy and cool sleep in a bit and be prepared to stay for a 3-4 hour time period! I really never know what pattern that I'll use till I get to the stream but you can be sure it's a #24 big eye spinner either in grey, olive or black, I just look and pick the one I want - it's the size and THE FLOAT that gets them not the pattern. I even tried a few fly shop spinners and found that they worked pretty well if the presentation was good if not they would not eat it. Now is the time to go, if you don't you'll miss out on some of the years best fishing.
