Hornberg

The Hornberg is classic trout fly pattern that can be used either as a dry fly or as a streamer. The Hornberg is often dead drifted with the current, then let "swing" at the end of the drift and stripped back. Now a-days the Hornberg is favorite fly among fisherman for high country brook trout. The Hornberg can be tied in a "wet" or "dry" style. In this video we tie the fly in the "dry" style. The Hornberg is thought to imitate a hopper on the surface or a small minnow under the surface. Either way, it is a very versatile fly here in the west and a great old school pattern to have in your box!
