Fishing Mayfly Dun Patterns

The majority of mayfly species molt in the spring and early summer, while others do it at different times of the year. You could have sporadic hatches of certain species even in the late fall and early spring. These sporadic times could be even more interesting and productive for trout (and for a fisherman). During early spring and the fall, mayflies hatch in the warm hours of the day – usually midday. In the summertime, this event moves more towards the morning and late afternoon or early evenings. Usually, the warmer the weather, the shorter the hatch is – an hour or two. With cooler weather, this can last a couple of hours. As mayfly duns float on the surface like little sailboats, this behavior dictates the method of presentation of the fly that is imitating it. When presenting a dun imitation to the trout, it has to be drag-free and from upstream, not giving a fish much opportunity to see the line or leader. This can be done by cross-current reach cast. This way your fly will drift towards the trout before the line and the leader arrive.

  1. Colin (verified owner)

    Incredibly realistic and easy to work with. The wings are soft and flexible but the material seems to be quite tough and should be able to withstand the abuse of several fish without damage.

  2. Daniel Ireland (verified owner)

    Didnt care for the wings; very tough to cut free from plastic withou losing a tab, etc. I ended up tying wing post and hackle parachute style .. The bodies were great, except for.the tails . I ended up snipping the very tip of the abdomens, inserting two moose hair fibers Into the hollow body and gluing with UV resin. Look great
