Mayfly Magic

Mayfly Magic

Mayfly Magic – Every Fly Angler’s Favourite Time

Mayflies are one of the most exciting trout flies an angler can use. Why? When the mayfly hatch kicks off in late spring, trout seem to throw caution to the wind. This

Mayfly Season

short window – often nicknamed “Duffers Fortnight” – brings electrifying sport that’s almost unequalled for the rest of the season. Even if you’re new to fly fishing, you’ll find trout eagerly rising to gulp down these large, tasty insects. Experienced anglers, meanwhile, relish the challenge of matching this prolific mayfly hatch with the perfect imitation. It’s mayhem in the best way possible!

Meet the Mayfly – Up-Winged Magic

The mayfly (like the famous Ephemera danica, or Green Drake) is a big, showy up-winged insect. Traditionally most prominent in May (give or take a few weeks either side), mayflies have a unique lifecycle that anglers love to “match the hatch.” They spend most of their life as underwater nymphs, then hatch into graceful duns (winged adults) that dance on the surface, and finally become spent spinners falling back to the water. For fly fishers, this means a chance to use a variety of mayfly fishing flies – from buoyant dry patterns to scruffy emergers – to imitate each stage. Seeing a trout smash a drifting

is heart-pounding fun whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pro.
 
Top Mayfly Fly Patterns & Tips
Our selection of Mayfly fishing flies covers all the bases to help you make the most of “mayfly season.” Popular patterns like the classic Grey Wulff, elegant French Partridge Mayfly, and modern CDC emergers are must-haves in your fly box. Remember to present your fly naturally: a dragged fly might be refused even during a frenzy. On rivers and lakes during a heavy mayfly hatch, try starting with a big bushy dry fly (to grab attention) or switch to an emerger pattern if trout are sipping just below the surface. Don’t forget spent spinner imitations in the evenings – trout often can’t resist an easy meal. With the right mayfly fly patterns and a bit of luck, you’ll enjoy epic takes and bent rods throughout this magical time. Tight lines!
