Toftings Mayfly

No comments yet

The hope of finding the first real hatches of the big mayfly lives in the heart of most fly fishers. The day with the large, swarming mayflies and trout feeding greedily on the surface is like christmas for flyfishers. A hatch that’ll bring even the largest and most shy fish to the surface. Here the danish flytyer and flyfisher Per Tofting will demonstrate his favorite mayfly pattern that he uses for his unique dryfly fishing for big sea run brown trout in his small local streams - a pattern that can trigger the biggest trouts in the river.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
