Hey, everyone!  I finally got onto the water for a gorgeous day of fishing in the somewhat chilly (48*F) streams around Southeast Pennsylvania, USA.  I'm new to this area, so got 'skunked' at a few streams that I later found out hadn't held fish in years due to massive pollution and such... BUT I did manage to catch a lil' stockie (8" or so?) on other better water, so my first day of the season wasn't for naught.  OH!  Also, to throw this into the same post, I saw literally hundreds, if not thousands, of Hendrickson nymphs both floating freely and attached to the undersides of rocks... and the closest pattern I have is a dry fly using pink fox-belly fur and other things.  Could people please suggest nymph patterns for a size 16 (or 15?) Hendrickson nymph in a medium grey / Hendrickson pink color? Thanks everyone, and tight wraps, Pete
