Quick take
A 6-piece pack of classic dry fly patterns in sizes 10 to 14 that float at the surface for trout and panfish.
Wild Water's dark Hendrickson dry flies come in size 14, six to a pack, a size that matches the spring mayfly hatches many anglers meet on trout and panfish water. The dark reddish-brown dubbed body and upright wings copy the adult insect riding the surface, the kind of food trout and panfish take near the top. They suit anglers who fish freestone streams in spring and early summer or who work the edges of lakes and ponds.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
