MAY'S FLY OF THE MONTH
The fly of the month for May is actually a double selection since one
imitates the dun of the Hendrickson and the other imitates the red quill
or male spinner of the Hendrickson. These two flies are productive the
entire month of May and both will out produce the regular standard
Hendrickson patterns.

DUN HAYSTACK (Hendrickson male
spinner imitation)
TYING INSTRUCTIONS:
Tie same as above except use rusty orange Australian possum for the
body
instead of the gray muskrat.
NOTE: An excellent selection of flies for the entire month of
May would include the dun Haystacks in sizes 12 and 14, a couple of Ausable Wulffs
in sizes 12 and 14, a couple Ausable Caddis in sizes 12 and 14 and a few
dun caddis in sizes 14 and 16. These flies will guarantee you trout
throughout the entire month of May.
If these patterns are not available in your local sport shop, they may
be ordered by emailing me or call (518) 946-2605.
