Just to let every one know the hendrickson's have started to come off on the Farmington Unionville up to the TMA in pleasant Valley. the lower TMA being the better look for them to start at about 12:30 -1:00 PM and last for an hour or so. They have also started on the Willimantic, Natchaug and I heard that there have been fish boiling on the scantic so it will only be a couple days. Try a olive brown nymph or one of the Hendrickson nymphs we have at the shop. Once thye start coming up try to watch what fly they are hitting the E. Subvaria species differ very much from male to female. The male being smaller Size 14 and a redish brown ( red quill dry flry or sparkle dun work great) female is size 12 and light pinkish tan ( light henderickson dry and sparkle dun) the fish will some times key on one or the other so keep a sharp eye on what the trout are taking. Also there maybe some smaller Blue winged olives mixed in so if the trout will not take the above flies tie on a size 18 bwo abd give it a go. In a few days look for the spinners to start to fall about 3:00 for this a rsuty spinner in size 12 or 14 will be great.

Good luck and tight lines,

Steve'O
