Light Hendrickson

The Light Hendrickson fly pattern is a classic dry fly pattern used in fly fishing to imitate the adult stage of the Hendrickson mayfly. The Hendrickson mayfly hatch occurs in the spring, typically in late April or early May, and is an important food source for trout in many rivers and streams.

The Light Hendrickson dry fly is tied on a dry fly hook and features a slender body made from light pink or beige dubbing material. The wings of the fly are made from light or medium dun colored hackle feathers, which are tied in a parachute style to help the fly float on the surface of the water.

The Light Hendrickson is a versatile fly that can be fished in a variety of water conditions, but it is most effective during the Hendrickson mayfly hatch. It can be fished using a dead drift presentation or twitched on the surface of the water to imitate the movements of a live insect.

Overall, the Light Hendrickson is a must-have fly pattern for any fly fisher’s collection during the springtime.

Usually available in the following hook sizes: 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20
