[FONT=Georgia, serif]The Hendrickson, or Ephemerrlla subvaria for those you keeping score at home, is the first major mayfly hatch/emergence of the spring that starts to draw crowds on our rivers. The first patterns were tied by Roy Steenrod and were named after his fishing partner Albert Everett Hendrickson. The above fly is tied Thorax style to lay low in the water.[/FONT]​

Nice fly, especially the wings. Looks almost too pretty to fish.

Anyone have any tied Marinaro style? If so, post some picks, I'd like to see how others have come out X-wrapping the hackle.
