I wasn't satisfied with the results of the snow shoe spinner, so I made some adjustments and I get better results with it. The key is to keep it sparse and small.

Johnny U...Again very nice looking tricos. Thinking I'm going to get some #24's since the hook i used today got me some, But i also did get half amount of just looks from them before they took it. Was wondering if I went smaller if that would of worked better? Since I went with a smaller X, Longer tippet, and that didn't help out that much.
ReplyDeleteTri,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I use for the emergers 22-24s, spinners i use 24-26. Now sometimes you can get away with using a scud hook of a bigger size with the fly tied smaller.
If you got looks and no takes, then you had some yes qualities but something made them refuse. Now it could have been size.(not only hook size, your flies proportions as well) Or it could have been color. Even your presentation.
My tippet section on my leader for trico is 3lb and I use about 6-8 ft. Lol i'll bet your tip wasnt that long. lol.
With tricos slack line drifts are extremely important.
