Tying a Hendrickson Comparadun

Producer: Richard Strolis

“This high-riding pattern that rides flush in the film is a time-tested dry fly that should take a place in everyone’s fly box. The Comparadun can be altered in color and size to cover just about any mayfly hatch. This particular variation is for the Hendrickson Mayfly but can do double duty for any darker-colored mayfly.
