from the Turrall Dry May Trout Fly Collection.

The Wet Olive Mayfly Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout during the mayfly season.

Its design features a slender olive body, soft hackle, and delicate wings, which create a lifelike appearance and movement in the water.
Originating in the UK, this fly has been a favourite among fly fishers for decades due to its proven success in various water conditions. Its versatility allows it to be used in both rivers and still waters, making it an essential addition to any angler's fly box..

Wet Olive Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Wet Olive Mayfly is best used during mayfly hatches, particularly in late spring and early summer. To maximise effectiveness, employ a downstream presentation, allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. Use a floating line with a long leader to ensure a delicate presentation. A dead drift technique is effective, but incorporating occasional twitches can mimic the natural movement of an emerging mayfly.
For retrieves, a slow hand-twist retrieve can be effective, especially in still waters. In rivers, focus on casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift back naturally, targeting areas behind rocks or near banks where trout are likely to be waiting for emerging insects.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry May Trout Fly

most effective?
The Wet Olive Mayfly is most effective during late spring to early summer, typically from May to June, when the natural mayfly hatches are at their peak. This period is ideal as trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. The fly works best in overcast conditions or during the evening when the light is low, mimicking the natural emergence of mayflies. Additionally, it can be effective in autumn, particularly in September, when there is a second, albeit smaller, hatch. Use this fly in slow-moving waters or pools where trout are likely to be waiting for an easy meal.

How does the Turrall Wet Olive Mayfly Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Wet Olive Mayfly Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the Baetis nymph, a crucial stage in the mayfly's lifecycle. This fly represents the nymph as it emerges from the riverbed, ascending towards the surface to hatch. During this stage, the nymph is vulnerable, making it an easy target for trout. The fly's olive hues and delicate construction replicate the natural appearance and movement of the Baetis nymph, enticing fish to strike. Trout are particularly drawn to this stage due to the abundance and ease of capture, providing a rich source of nutrition.
