This is my standard Mayfly Dun and has proved successful on those rare occasions I get to see a Mayfly hatch these days. Just cast it on a short 9’ leader to an individual rising fish or, drift through the hatch. It has the advantage of sitting very low in the water but the combination of materials in the dressing gives excellent flotation qualities.

Trade Only
Note: We can manufacture any design to order, subject to a minimum order size of 12 doz with a typical 3 month lead time.
Sedge hatchings often provide explosive action but sadly many of the still water sedge hatches are only a shadow of what they once were, due to pollutants such as oil film from outboard motors. However, mayflies appear to be a little more resistant and fortunately, there are still good hatches of mayflies in our waters. I recall an early July fishing trip on the Canim River just east of 100 Mile House when the mid day mayfly hatch was very prolific and the resident rainbow trout responded with excellent enthusiasm! The fly that worked well for me on these wild trout was a moose hair mayfly that we will examine.

They have a wonderful strawberry roan colour and I am sure this is what makes this pattern so successful. - Robbie

During a hatch a lot of flies are unable to fully lose their nymphal shuck and the duns wings do not form properly. Another similar pattern tied on conventionally on a longer shank hook, from Phillip White, also helped with the final dressing of this Stillborn Mayfly Cripple.
