# **How to Choose 1 DZ D16-5 THORAX DUN TRICO’S (Sizes Available), Dry Flies**
When it comes to dry fly fishing, few patterns are as effective as the **Thorax Dun Trico**—especially during late summer and early fall when Trico mayflies hatch in abundance. These tiny insects attract selective trout, making them a must-have in any angler’s fly box.
If you’re looking to stock up on **1 DZ D16-5 THORAX DUN TRICO’S**, here’s a detailed guide to help you choose the right sizes and understand why this pattern is a game-changer for dry fly fishing.
## **Understanding the Trico Mayfly & Why the Thorax Dun Works**
Tricos (*Tricorythodes*) are small mayflies (typically sizes #18–#24) that hatch in massive numbers, often forming dense spinner falls in the early morning. Trout key in on these tiny insects, making accurate imitations crucial.
The **D16-5 THORAX DUN TRICO** excels because:
– **Realistic silhouette** – The thorax-style tying creates a natural profile, mimicking the upright wings of a dun.
– **High-visibility post** – A light-colored wing post improves visibility in low-light conditions.
– **Durable construction** – Built with quality materials to withstand multiple strikes.
## **Choosing the Right Size**
Trico patterns are tied in small sizes to match the natural insects. The **D16-5 THORAX DUN TRICO** is available in:
– **#18** – A versatile size for moderate hatches.
– **#20** – Ideal for selective trout in slower water.
– **#22–#24** – Best for technical waters where fish are extremely picky.
**Pro Tip:** Carry multiple sizes—trout may prefer smaller flies on pressured waters.
## **When & How to Fish the Thorax Dun Trico**
### **Best Fishing Conditions**
– **Early morning spinner falls** – Tricos often mate and fall in the first few hours after sunrise.
– **Slow-moving water** – Fish them in tailouts, eddies, and smooth glides.
– **Technical spring creeks & limestone streams** – Where trout are highly selective.
### **Presentation Tips**
– **Use a long, fine leader (6X–7X tippet)** to avoid spooking wary trout.
– **Dead-drift the fly** with minimal drag—Tricos float naturally on the surface.
– **Pair with a Trico spinner pattern** for a two-fly rig during spinner falls.
