July, August and September mean one thing in the 11-Mile Canyon section of the South Platte River in Colorado. Trico spinner falls are usually the name of the game mid-mornings on the river. I usually try to have several patterns in my box for the spinner fall. One of my favorite patterns over the years has been the 180° Trico Spinner. I call it my pattern, but I am sure there are others out there just like this. It has been a solid pattern and when tied on a 2488 hook, it can be tied really small, just like the naturals. Enjoy.
