This little fly can make a big difference…Barr’s Blue WInged Olive Emerger

Cream Variant

The Cream Variant was developed by Art Flck as a searching pattern representing many of the summer mayflies, from Stenonema, to Potamanthus. It is a staple in my late spring and summer fly box.

At our February meeting guest speaker, Rich Hudgens, gave us a very nice rundown of the fly hatches on the Upper Delaware and the Beaverkill.  One fly pattern that he touted is this version of the Hendrickson, particularly when there is a heavy hatch.
