from the Turrall Dry May Trout Fly Collection.

The Grey Drake Foam Mayfly Trout Fly is a must-have for any angler targeting trout during the mayfly hatch.

Crafted with a buoyant foam body, it ensures excellent floatation, even in turbulent waters, making it highly effective in attracting surface-feeding trout.
The realistic design, featuring delicate wings and a segmented body, enhances its appeal, enticing even the most discerning fish. Its proven track record in UK rivers and lakes makes it a reliable choice for anglers seeking success during the mayfly season..

Grey Drake Foam Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Grey Drake Foam Mayfly is best used during mayfly hatches, particularly in late spring and early summer. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, mimicking a real mayfly. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats without drag. A light tippet enhances presentation, making it appear more natural.
For retrieves, employ a gentle twitching motion to imitate a struggling insect, which can entice trout to strike. In faster waters, consider using a reach cast to position the fly correctly. Adjust your tactics based on water conditions and trout activity for optimal results.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry May Trout Fly

most effective?
The Grey Drake Foam Mayfly is most effective during late spring to early summer, aligning with the mayfly hatch period. In the UK, this typically occurs from May to June when water temperatures rise, triggering the emergence of mayflies. This fly excels in overcast conditions or during the evening when trout are more active and feeding on the surface. Look for calm, slow-moving waters where mayflies are likely to gather. The Grey Drake is particularly effective in rivers and streams with abundant mayfly populations, making it a prime choice for targeting selective trout during this peak season.

How does the Turrall Grey Drake Foam Mayfly Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Grey Drake Foam Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of the mayfly, specifically during its emergence. This fly represents the moment when the mayfly transitions from the water to the air, a critical phase that makes it highly vulnerable to predation. The foam body of the fly allows it to float on the water's surface, imitating the natural buoyancy of the emerging mayfly. Fish, particularly trout, target this stage because the mayflies are abundant, easy to catch, and provide a rich source of nutrients, making them an irresistible meal during their short-lived emergence period.
