Hendrickson Dun Photos

[Pujic 0]

For anyone interested, take a look at the subtle but noticable differences between the two Hendricksons, one male and one female. That egg sac is much brighter when you see it in real life. I think the fish were keying in on it.

 

 

and...just the female:

 

 

Here is a pic of one of many stonefly nymphs we observed under rocks.

Thanks Steve. The bugs are Grand River natives, yes. The Hendrickson hatch was so impressive I had to snap a few pics as reference material for the bench.

That hendrikson has me thinking of a few things to add to a nice dry pattern.

Pujey,

 

That egg sac reminds me of what it must have been like for the "Golden Boy" to be in the womb

 

Great pics as always! I have had good luck on stonefly patterns in the tailwater I fish, that pic gives me some good ideas.

Thanks guys.

 

I hope to get more as the season goes on. That way come Winter I'll have a bunch of reference material for the bench. I am trying to move away from my streamer only techniques this year and hit a few more trout on top.

 

I was planning on going back to the Grand this weekend, but I just found out that there was a dam failure and the water flow is 10 fold what it should be.

Steve,

 

From what I hear a section of one of the dams in fergus collapsed causing a huge increase in flows everywhere below it. Take a look:

I'm not sure what the authorities do when something like this happens. I mean how do you fix or rebuild a dam while sustaning some sort of flow? Fergus isn't exactly country side where they could just reroute it. Belwood Lake is full so they can't ease the flow of water out of it either I hope there is no long term damage from this.

Nick thanks for the damn info

 

Seriously man that sucks! i hope this dosen't have any long term effects on the fishery....i really was hoping to get over to the grand sometime in the next few weeks/month to fish and hook up with you.

Looks like the flooding is hurting everyone.Rabbit river near me usually has a 6 foot drop over normally but at last look it was flowing level.thats lot of rising and water.
