Trout fishing season is here, offering a chance to enjoy the outdoors and unwind with friends or family while fly fishing. Preparation and having the right gear are key to ensuring an organized and successful fishing trip.


Mayflies, particularly the Ephemera Danica species, are highly valued in fly fishing. They are eagerly anticipated by anglers and play a crucial role in the trout fishing season as one of the trout’s main food sources.Mayflies typically hatch from mid-May to late June, with a lifespan of just one day. Knowing how to fish them during this short window can significantly increase your chances of catching trout
