It’s May and a fascinating fishery is right ahead of us! Thus every year from mid of may til the end of June there are chances throughout Europe to catch a large brown trout on a dry fly. It is MAYFLY time! You can find various well know “MAYFLY” rivers where large hatches of the Ephemera Danica happen every year. In Germnay the river Wiesent might be the most famous mayfly river in Germany. It has long fly fishing tradtions. But you can find many more streams where the mayfly hatches bring up large brown trout to the surface. Mostly those fantastic insects are found chalkstreams. The fishery can be breathtaking and spectacular…but also nerve-wrecking and really challenging. Stories about those Mayfly times let flyfishers start to dream immediately. Then you can see their glimpse in their eyes. Sometimes you can hear stories where you think this wasn’t possible. Main characters in those stories are the large, old brown trout which usually do not feed on the surface. This time of the year offers the chance to catch the fish of your dreams with a dry fly!
