The hope of finding the first real hatches of the big mayfly lives in the heart of most fly fishers. The day with the large, swarming mayflies and trout feeding greedily on the surface is like Christmas for fly-fishers. A hatch that will bring even the largest and most shy fish to the surface. Here the Danish fly-tyer and fly-fisher Per Tofting will demonstrate his favourite mayfly pattern that he uses for his unique dry fly fishing for big sea run brown trout in his small local streams – a pattern that can trigger the biggest trout in the river.
