Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Does anyone know how to make the Henryville Special float lower in the water.

If you clip the hackle on the bottom side, it should ride lower in the water for you. You could also try to not use floatant (assuming you do). Then it will take on a bit more water and ride lower as well.
