What a difference a week makes

On the 1st of June, rivers were getting lower in the mountains of Maine and then 3-8 inches of rain fell – depending upon where you were. On June 1st, I was guiding at the end of the Rangeley River, where it dumps into Cupsuptic, and where two weeks before there had been good water flow and lots of good brook trout – now it was low, clear water and mostly small chubs rising. Fortunately, upstream in the pocket water there were hundreds of small caddis emerging, and nice chunky trout were hitting caddis imitations or nymphs.
And then the rains started… By June 8th, the rivers were high (but dropping) and the increased flow had brought fish in. Fishing reports have been good from the Rapid to Upper Dam to Kennebago. I guided my wife on the Kennebago on the 10th and she caught 6 good salmon out of just one pool on weighted streamers. Always good for the marriage.
Various mayflies and small black stoneflies continued to emerge off and on on Kennebago Lake. This is the time when fishing a hornberg dry really works (and also small black ants or something similar for the stoneflies).

To really “knock em dead”, day in and day out, whether there are a lot of flies around or just a few, when it is calm or rough, cold or warm – well, you get the picture- the best fly to use is a number 14 gray Hornberg fished dry. The Hornberg is not a widely fished fly But if you want outside of northern New England but it may be one of the top five dry flies in Maine.

The Hornberg is constructed with a thin black and tinseled body, a standard grizzly dry fly hackle, and mallard feather wings. The uniqueness of the fly comes from the fact that the wings are tied in lengthwise but “on edge”, one on either side of the hook so a tent shape is produced. There are streamers tied that way but it is unique for a dry fly. My preference is to fish the hornberg on the surface without movement until a cruising fish finds it. I have found the Hornberg to be a killer imitating the early season mayfly duns as they rest on the water surface drying their wings. From our perspective, hornbergs don’t really look all that much like mayfly duns but to the fish looking up to the surface, I think it is a different story. Perhaps the hackle looks like the mayfly’s legs and the edge of the hornberg wing feather indents the surface of the water like a thin mayfly body and the wing silhouette looks like mayfly wings. My experience is that it works better than more exact imitations because it is impressionistic with exaggerated strike-triggering characteristics
