The Henryville fly was created by Hiram Brobst and was christened on the Henryville section of Pennsylvania's Broadhead Creek. The Henryville is a superior adult caddis imitation and has been around for many years. One of the classic dry flies, it is excellent for skittering, or you can clip the hackle on the bottom so that it will stay upright and float lower in the film
Created by Frank Hornberg in the 1920's, this fly was originally designed to imitate a caddisfly. Interestingly enough, this pattern eventually became considered a streamer. The versatility of this fly makes it a staple in your fly box. Fish it on top when trout are feeding on adult damsels or caddisflies, or fish it as a streamer. Larger sizes will work great for bass and panfish, too!
The Royal Coachman is an artificial fly that has been tied as a wet fly, dry fly and streamer pattern. Today, the Royal Coachman and its variations are tied mostly as dry flies and fished floating on the water surface. It is a popular and widely used pattern for freshwater game fish, particularly trout and grayling. Large streamer versions are also used for winter steelhead and Atlantic salmon.
