Tiny CDC-winged Trico dun for the dense late-summer morning hatch.
Fish this when
The short, dense trico dun emergence on calm summer mornings, before the spinners take over and the real carnage starts.
Why it works
A single sparse CDC wing keeps the fly proportioned like the naturals it's swimming among, avoiding the bulkier silhouette that stands out — and gets refused — in a hatch this thick.
