Hendrickson Emerger

The Hendrickson hatch has been lots of fun thus far.  I like how there is such variety in how the fish take this particular mayfly.  Some days it's all about a soft hackle.  Other days they will only hit emergers in the film. And then occasionally the trout are up on the duns.  Combine that with the fact that most days the hatch only lasts an hour or two and it requires you to be on your A-game in regard to observing what is happening in order to catch fish. This particular emerger has been my most consistent producing fly thus far this season.   Hendricksons bring some really nice fish to the surface ... see the second photo!
