Brown Drake Spinner Fall

Large mayflies such as Brown Drakes tend to hatch in low-light conditions of late evenings, heavy clouds or into pitch dark. They can be predictable and consistent in the prime roll of their hatch season but as the hatch season begins or ends they may be disperse, sporadic and hard to predict even if we fly fishers think “it has to happen!” – it doesn’t! Brown drake mayflies coupled with brown trout can be an incredible combination – both good and bad. In this video we look at how we fared at the tail end of runoff as summer heat was settling in. Things were sparse but we waited out the spinner fall as we found a few nice brown trout over 2 nights that were happily gorging on brown drake mayfly spinners.
