Video Olive Panama Fly Nov 14. 2020 Materials Used;	Video Dirty Yellow Mayfly Nov 4. 2020 This bushy top dropper can be very effective around mayfly time, but is also worth having in the box later in the season too.	Video Grey Rollover Mayfly Oct 20. 2020 Patsy Deery's Rollover Mayfly is a great choice for blowy days when the fish are up eating duns on the surface. It also makes a pretty decent dapping fly when the mayfly is on,.
Video Ceanis/Trico Spinner Oct 14. 2020 The smallest of the up-winged may flies. Although ideally matched on a # 20-26 hook it is possible to get away with a # 18. A couple of interesting techniques here for the tails and wing.	Video Mad Magenta Sep 26. 2020	Video Large Mayfly Nymph Sep 15. 2020 A nice pattern for most of the larger mayfly nymphs. Not only an easy but semi realistic tie but an extremely effective pattern with some good techniques that can be used for other nymphs.

A simple but extremely effective cripple mayfly pattern that with a little adjustment to size and colour will produce fish in most hatches.
