Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Hackled Trout Fly Collection.

The Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout in rivers and streams. Originating in the UK, this fly mimics the natural mayfly, a staple in a trout's diet. Its design features a golden body, often crafted from tinsel or dubbing, with a soft hackle that pulsates in the water, imitating the movement of an emerging insect.
Known for its effectiveness during the mayfly hatch, this fly is particularly successful in clear waters where trout are selective. The Golden May's realistic appearance and enticing action make it a must-have in any angler's fly box, ensuring success in various fishing conditions..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is best used in rivers and streams where mayflies are prevalent. To maximise effectiveness, employ a downstream and across presentation, allowing the fly to swing naturally in the current. Use a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural movement of emerging mayflies. Incorporate occasional twitches to simulate struggling insects, enticing trout to strike. Fish this fly during the late spring and early summer months when mayfly hatches are at their peak. Adjust the depth by varying the weight of the leader or using split shot to ensure the fly drifts just above the riverbed.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the late spring to early summer months, particularly from May to June. This period coincides with the prolific mayfly hatch, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on emerging insects, and the Golden May Fly's design mimics the natural movement and appearance of these hatches.
For optimal results, target overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often encourage more active feeding. Additionally, early mornings and late afternoons are prime times when trout are most likely to be on the hunt.

How does the Turrall Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Golden May Wet Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the subimago stage of the mayfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. During this stage, the mayfly emerges from the water as a dun, with its wings upright and body still soft, making it vulnerable to predators. The fly's golden hues and hackled design mimic the shimmering appearance and movement of the emerging mayfly, enticing trout to strike. Fish target this stage because the mayflies are abundant, easy to catch, and provide a rich source of nutrients, making them an irresistible meal for hungry trout.
