Hardy's Favourite   Hook: 8 - 10   Hackle: Guinea fowl   Wing: Pheasant tail barbs   Body: Peacock herl   Ribbing: Red floss   Tail: Orange hackle/Guinea fowl

Mild autumn weather prevailed during March, with only 1/2 an inch of rain recorded. There was a lot of insect activity on the lakes late in the afternoon. Trout were mainly caught on Woolly Buggers and Nymphs. The Hardys Favourite also had success. With cooler weather predicted, fishing should be very good over the next few months.

The Hardy's Favourite was adapted from an English wet fly as tied by J. J. Hardy of Hardy Brothers, Alnwick, England. It is believed that this transformation took place in northern California around the mid 1920s.
