About the Rhone Mayfly Trout Fly

My Rhone Mayfly is probably one of the most drab looking adult Mayfly patterns I fish, but it is one of the best. The wings comprise of two sets of jay neck feathers tied V-shape and upright. They have a wonderful strawberry roan colour and I am sure this is what makes this pattern so successful. - Robbie
