Posts: 287 | Reverse style tying will neutralize water turbidity and laminar flow rate. The equation is: water current = mass flow laminar turbidity = density of mass therefore: meniscus (surface tension) divided by benthic thrust = degree of fly angle or; reverse style fly. This method allows the reverse style fly to maintain strike zone posture for longer periods. Bruce, Lastchance, Goose, etc. etc. | |

Solid scientific evidence about why I should start tying reverse style Tricos. I think I'll put all my traditionally tied dry flies up for sale and re-tie all my flies in reverse. Thank you for this illuminating post! | |

Posts: 560 | Holy laminar turbidity batman! We are out here in the wild competing with these kinda thinkers?! Let's take up basket weaving. | |

Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | Yes, A lot of the content in this thread could be described as the result of "benthic thrust." LOL | |

Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | Well, benthic does mean "bottom" so I had in mind the buttocks' role in the biological digestive process. Otherwise known as BBDP or by its abbreviated acronym BS. | |

York & Starlight PA Posts: 2692 | Well all I know is that tomorrow around 9:30 a.m. I'll be stepping into a cold runnng trout stream and flipping out a few feathered morsels to tempt the trout. We have all been landlocked way too long and it's about time to get into those waders again. | |

Posts: 287 | Although I found very few risers on Saturday my practice of "Benthic Thrust" played a key role on one I snagged on a dry fly. Keeping in mind that benthic thrust will neutralize the laminar flow flate, I made a thrust at the 2 PM position, thus fooling a nice brown on my first attempt. A key member of this site witnessed the biological fishing gem. Bruce | |

Boiling Springs, PA Posts: 922 | I may not be that key member, but I was a witness and I must admit that it was the perfect execution of Benthic Thrust! It would give it a perfect 10 out of 10. That fish never had a chance...but I think that it may have had low self esteem. | |

Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3108 | OK, Mike here is the thread with the photos. My upside down spinner, posted by Tony, is also based on Al's Trico, and I pull it out for really picky fish. Sometimes I tie it reverse style and leave off the tails One of these got me a very picky fish in a stretch that is pounded almost daily a few weeks back. | |

bancroft michigan Posts: 353 | Wonderful! Love the banter also. I have tied up a few of Al's trico and Im heading up in the very pre-dawn, I think I like this fishing more than the rest, and yes I would love to have bamboo rod for this, maybe next year? We shall see. Thanks again, I had some good chuckles with this! Mike. | |
