Tricos on the Yough River?

[Bb100]

Is there a Trico hatch on the Yough River above Ramcat?
Thanks for the response

Since you've had no replies here for a week, I'll chime in with what I know.

I haven't seen any there.
But I've never been there early in the morning - when they hatch - either.
So, I guess its possible.

However, I can't remember seeing them listed in any of the hatch charts I've seen for the Yough.

My experience is the same as DryFlyGuy's.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing they are few to none.

Because Tricos are usually found in fertile streams, particularly limestone streams, and in low gradient stretches of stream.

The Yough doesn't fit those characteristics at all.

Tricos live in silt. On the Lil Lehi, which used to have very consistent and voluminous Trikes, when there are big autumn floods flushing away the silt, the following years would be sparser for the little guys.
