It would be a toss up for me as to the most productive Henry's Lake fly all time. It's either the Ducktail or a brown mohair leech.That is a good fly for LL Salmon and Brown Trout. I have used it with good success all over Northern New England
Lovely, all. I especially like the Goldie Prawn.Some recent stuff….. (Solstice Spider, Unnamed, Skagit Storm, Copper Reeach, Crawdad, Variegated Sun Fly, GP)
