Rising Rainbow Trout on Dry Flies

Bad weather is a recipe for mayflies. When a major, late season snow storm was forecast to roll through our region we knew it would bring on good hatches of march brown and blue-winged olive mayflies. Mayflies and bad weather are made for each other! We set out to drift our local river in search of a pocket or two where the emerging mayflies would collect in hopes of finding rising rainbow trout – and find rising rainbow trout we did! This turned into an epic session on the camera as the march browns & blue-winged olives hatched in droves and several rainbow trout came shallow to rise to Amelia’s dry flies.
