Hendrickson's - Because it's that time of the year! (Ephemerella subvaria)!

The Hendrickson mayfly (Ephemerella subvaria) is named after, James E. Hendrickson, a long-time friend of, Roy Steenrod, the angler who first discovered the Hendrickson hatch on the Delaware River. Hendrickson and Steenrod were fishing on the river one night when they noticed the mayflies hatching in large numbers. Hendrickson caught one of the mayflies and gave it to Steenrod to study. Steenrod then used this mayfly to create the fly pattern that we all know and love as, The Hendrickson or as some may call it, a "Hendo". Typically, Hendricksons start in mid-April and the hatch lasts about 2 weeks. For many, this mayfly hatch starts the beginning of our fly fishing season on the East Coast. One of my favorite patterns for this fly (Tie it yourself, They sell for $3.95 each).

I got all my NJFW eagle observing done on Saturday and headed to the Poconos for some nymphing on Sunday. Air temp was a little chilly on arrival but it warmed up to a pleasant 48 degrees midday. Water was cold all day but there were a good number of black caddis and little black stones on the shore rocks. Fish were feeding quite well for as cold as the water was and the to net numbers were about as good as you could ask for. Good numbers in the 12-14 inch size and three really nice fish 18-20.
