I always tell people that I don't go fishing unless I have at least 6
hornbergs in my boxes. The hornberg can be fished dry as a
caddis, stonefly, or hopper and can be retrieved at the end of the
drift to immitate a baitfish. I've caught fish with both methods. I
like the fly in the larger sizes. One thing I like about fishing the fly
as a streamer is that it acts much like a Seaducer. The hackle keeps
the fly in the middle of the water column much like a natural
baitfish. If you run into someone who still fishes this fly get ready
to hear some great stories.
