Trico Photos
John Beth has sent along a few more Trico photos from his trip to Montana’s Bighorn a couple of weeks ago. For those that have never fished big waters, the Trico hatch o the ‘Horn can seem unreal. But the big western rivers like the Missouri, the Henry’s Fork, Canada’s Bow, and others all have Trico hatches that are off the chart, and which can go one for over a month. The total number of insect is truly astronomical.
Arriving at the boat ramp in early morning one is created with untold numbers of Tricos.
The spiders get fat on the multitude of Tricos that hang up in their webs.
So many that one can actually breathe them in.
