Mayfly (E. Danica) nymphal shuck... moments after emergence. |
Well the warm water got them out of their muddy little burrows. Shrugging off those fluffy nymphal shucks and heading for the surface to enjoy the English sunshine.
 |
Freshly emerged Mayfly, drying its wings a foot above the water. I'm sure their tails are longer this year! |
But the fish didn't seem to be on the mayfly yet.
 |
They really are a hearty meal for a fish aren't they? |

A bit of stripped quill and a single CDC plume on a #20 Varivas 2200 BL. |
I got one really good chub on an adult mayfly but the trout were more focussed on an extremely intense hatch of #20 midges. So I threw this little midget at them which did the trick...
