Henry’s Fork Salmonfly

Patterns made in Idaho work great in Idaho and even better outside of Idaho. Since the Henry’s Fork can have some particularly picky trout, the patterns developed here are world class. The Henry’s Fork Salmonfly is very realistic in color and the profile of the bug is really what helps it fish well. The body sits flush with the water while the wings splay out like a salmonfly that is on it’s last bit of life, laying eggs or trapped on the water waiting to be eaten. Notice in the fly gallery the adult with it’s wings over it’s back, and then notice the somewhat blurry photo of the salmonfly on the water with it’s wings out to the side. This is what the trout eat, not the one on the tree branch. Tie your flies accordingly.
