- Fishing Techniques.
The CDC Spent Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is best used during mayfly hatches, mimicking spent or dying mayflies on the water's surface. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a delicate cast to avoid spooking fish. Use a floating line and a long, fine leader to ensure a natural drift. The fly should be allowed to sit motionless on the water, imitating a spent mayfly. For retrieves, employ a gentle twitch or leave it static to simulate a struggling insect. Tactics include targeting areas with visible rises and focusing on slower-moving water where trout are more likely to feed on surface insects.

The CDC Spent Mayfly is most effective during late spring to early summer, aligning with the mayfly hatch period, typically from May to June. This fly excels in calm, clear waters where trout are feeding on the surface. Ideal conditions include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these encourage mayfly activity. During the evening rise, when trout are actively feeding on spent mayflies, the CDC Spent Mayfly can be particularly successful. Ensure to match the fly size and colour to the local hatch for optimal results.

How does the Turrall CDC Spent Mayfly Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
