The Mayfly Real is a brilliant, detailed dry fly designed to present the large silhouette of an adult mayfly. It is intended for the UK mayfly period on rivers and stillwaters where Ephemera species genuinely occur.

Fish it on a tapered leader during a hatch, matching size and stage to the naturals. An excellent fish catcher - few moments beat watching a trout lift and take it cleanly.

Amazing quality and looks real! It sounds like a chinook helicopter when casting though! Caught a fish very quickly with it, but it does damage quickly (to be expected though with such life like wings)

Hi Richard,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear you liked the realistic appearance of the fly and that it helped you catch a fish so quickly.

Leader twist can sometimes occur with larger, more air-resistant patterns such as mayflies, daddies and other bulky dry flies. A simple way to reduce this is to increase your tippet diameter. Moving up to a 2X tippet will often help prevent the fly from spinning and significantly reduce leader twist.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, and we hope the fly continues to fish well for you.
