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!

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
