Over the years I hit the peak hatch twice. It was a memorable experience. Tom Hi Tom, Thanks! During last spring’s sheltering in place order my dental office was closed and I was able experience the magic of the Hendrickson hatch for about a month on the Farmington river. Like clock work, if the temperature hit 50° they would start hatching around 2:30 pm and the fish just went berserk and gorged themselves on Hendricksons. Prior to last spring I hadn’t had much success hitting the Hendrickson hatch with a few good days here and there, because I was always busy in the office at the critical time. Guessing I won’t have another spring like the last one until retirement! -Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBPatt 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 Mr Rapidan Muddler Getting away from Harry Murray’s original intention for this fly - a Quill Gordon imitation (sorta), but it’s a good foundation to play with. Tried it with natural deer hair and wasn’t thrilled with the results so I tried a few different dyed pieces; this shade was what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing some experimenting and didn’t keep good notes on the mixture; pretty sure these amounts are correct. Also, this was a piece of tan pronghorn, not white, so the color is a a bit darker; I left it in the dye bath for about an hour. hook - WFC Model 6 #8 thread - Uni 8/0 camel tail - bleached moose body hair rib - x-small wire gold body - Fly Rite Poly quill gordon/brown drake yellow body hackle - grizzly/brown (undersize by 2) wing - calftail yellow collar/head - pronghorn dyed golden brown (2 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/4 Tsp Rit Camel/2 cups water) Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
