Well I am stocking my fly boxes back up for the upcoming season. I know from past experience that I will need Hendricksons on opening day. Do what are your favorite fly patterns for this famed hatch. Emergers, Cripples, Duns and Spinner patternes would all be greatly appreciated. I wasn’s sure if this should go under the tying section or general section. I put it here since even non-tyers would have an opinion also.
Thanks,
I like red quill’s.
Rusty spinners.
I find a soft hackle pattern is the best option as waters are still chilly.
Well, I guess for the emergers I would go with the Lt. Hend(f) and the Red Quill(m). As far as specific pattern I would go with a sparkle dun. For the dun, my choice would be the same tyed as a comparadun. For the spinners, a rusty spinner: splayed tails, dubbed or quill body and grizzly hackle clipped top and bottom.
Thanks, you’ve reminded me to check my boxes for this bug and see if I’ve enough.

Thanks for all the suggestions. How could I forget about comparaduns. Guess it has been a while. Back to the bench I go.
