"Old Blue" Hendrickson

Post by Terrestrial12 » Sat Mar 04, 2023 8:57 pm

In my local waters light, creamy colored flies do really well regardless of if the sulphurs or "Cahills" are hatching or not. I had a brainstorm to do a mash up of a light hendrickson wet fly and Lisenring's old blue dun...I'm super stoked with how it came out.

There are a lot of patterns posted on this winged section. This is a pattern that is impressive. Clean and honest. I would fish your pattern in a heart beat.

Same here T12! What a profound pattern! It is at the core of what we're all about! Simple, elegant patterns such as yours! Great design and execution! Do you have more "mash ups" in mind? We hope so!
Well pleased with what I see,

I'm liking it. It's just an all around great looking fly.
