Duck Fly
TroutFilm
The spring Corrib classic. Duck fly hatches — large dark chironomids emerging in great numbers — create spectacular feeding frenzies on the Connacht loughs from March into May. Small, dark, devastating on the wave top.
Fish this when
March to May on Corrib, Mask and Conn. Fish on the top dropper of a team of three, dibbled in the wave from a drifting boat.
