If you have read the tips for fishing the Small Western Dark Hendrickson Emerger fly, you can skip this article since it is the same.

The Small Western Dark Hendrickson is the Serratella tibialis mayfly and sometimes are referred to as the Little Dark Hendersons. Depending on the weather they emerge (hatch) from noon to mid-afternoon with the spinner fall occurring late in the day or evening.

The nymphs move to the calmer areas of the stream to hatch in the surface skim of the calmer sections of water or pocket water. The Small Western Dark Hendrickson emerging nymphs with trailing shucks are effective when fished during the actual hatch.

Presentation: 

The best approach is to place the Perfect Fly Small Western Dark Hendrickson Emerger with Trailing Shuck Fly in the slow moving water adjacent to the faster water. Use an upstream or up and across presentation to place the emerger with trailing shuck fly in slow moving water near the faster moving water. As with the nymph, you may need to use a downstream or down and across presentation when the water is smooth. Your presentation will need to be adjusted to suite the conditions of a given stream since their habitat can vary.
