I just did a quick google image serch and couldn’t come up with a picture of the pattern. It’s a Greg Ellis pattern that was featured in Kelly Galloup’s book “Cripple’s and Spinners.” Really simple to tie. Basically it’s a standard spent spinner but with 3 wings tied in to give a more realistic wing profile, especially for Tricos where there wing width is like 60% of the length of their body length. I’ll take some pics of one of mine tonight

We used to tie a fly called the “Gob O’ Spinners” for Fall River, it was a #14 that you mounted 8 or 9 spinner wings on to simulate a clump of bugs, rather than an individual fly.

I’m not familiar with the Triple Wing flavor, is there an example somewhere on the web?

Keith,
Have you played with the Triple Wing Spinner for Tricos yet?
