HENDRICKSON LIGHT
$1.89
Hendrickson Light is a classic dry fly imitating female Hendrickson mayflies—a must-have spring pattern for trout in rivers and streams.
Description
The Hendrickson Light is a time-honored dry fly pattern created to imitate the Ephemerella subvaria, commonly known as the Hendrickson mayfly. These mayflies are one of the earliest and most important hatches of spring, often marking the beginning of serious dry fly fishing in many regions. The light-bodied variation is especially effective during the female hatch, where lighter tones are a closer match to naturals.
Featuring a slender light tan or pinkish-cream body, split tails, upright wings, and delicate hackle, the Hendrickson Light provides a lifelike silhouette and excellent buoyancy. Its design makes it ideal for presenting a dead-drift in riffles, runs, and pools where trout eagerly rise to these early-season insects.
This fly is particularly productive in northeastern and midwestern rivers during April and May but is also effective in any fishery with Hendrickson populations. Whether you’re targeting wild browns, rainbows, or brook trout, the Hendrickson Light is an essential spring pattern that consistently delivers results when these mayflies are on the water.
