- Fishing Techniques.
The Special European No. 28 Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised during the mayfly hatch, mimicking the natural emergence of mayflies. For effective presentation, cast upstream and allow the fly to drift naturally with the current, ensuring a drag-free drift. Use a floating line and a long leader to enhance presentation. Employ a dead-drift technique, occasionally adding subtle twitches to imitate a struggling insect. For retrieves, use a slow hand-twist or figure-of-eight retrieve to mimic the natural swimming action. Target areas with overhanging vegetation or riffles where trout are likely to be feeding actively.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry May Trout Fly

most effective?

The Special European No. 28 Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early summer, particularly from May to June. This period coincides with the mayfly hatch, a prime time for trout feeding. During these months, the fly mimics the natural emergence of mayflies, making it irresistible to trout. Ideal conditions include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these encourage mayfly activity. Use this fly in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are likely to be feeding near the surface. Adjust your technique based on water flow and visibility for optimal results.

How does the Turrall Special European No. 28 Mayfly Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Special European No. 28 Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the delicate and enticing stage of the mayfly's emergence. This fly imitates the subimago stage, where the mayfly transitions from nymph to dun, a critical moment when it is most vulnerable. As the mayfly struggles to break free from its nymphal shuck and dry its wings, it becomes an irresistible target for trout. Fish are particularly drawn to this stage due to the abundance and ease of capture, making the No. 28 fly an essential tool for anglers seeking to exploit this natural feeding frenzy.
