About the Wonder Wing Mayfly Trout Fly

The mayfly hatch is a fascinating time of the year. Although it would seem that the trout will throw themselves at any fly, there are times when only specific patterns will work.

Expert Tip:

An easy way to gauge approximate proportions when tying our large Mayflies is to think of 3 inches.
1 inch - length of the tail
1 inch - length of the body
1 inch - height of the wings
Gary Coxon of Cheshire, England (2001).
