Hendrickson Legendary Catskill pattern developed by Roy Steenrod, circa: 1920, and later named after his friend AE Hendrickson. Tied to imitate the female "Ephemerella subvaria". The two images below represent the Art Flick versions of the Hendrickson mayfly, tied true to his pattern as described in his book "Streamside Guide". The pink stained fur used for the body is supposed to be naturally pink\urine stained fur from a red fox vixen. The color of the fur used for this fly should be a uniformly fleshy pink color.
