Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are a great source of excitement in the trout fishing flies world. There are 46 species in the Uk and the hatches are normally very prolific. The trout fisher needs simply to match a colour and not the actual species as the true flies differ enormously between families.
The spent patterns are often as killing as the upwing trout fishing fly varieties when the rivers surface is littered by them.
This fly achieves deception not only because it looks something like the real thing, but also because it behaves so naturally, alighting gently onto the water like an egg laying spinner or a dun mayfly needing a second attempt to take off. Some anglers try this fly and hate it. They are casting it wrong. It is important to cast gently and that means not covering too much water with each cast. This pattern is deadly provided the hatch is on but not so profuse that the trout are too spoil for choice.
