Celebrated angler and author Paul Procter is famous for his ability to catch specimen brown trout on dry flies. As part of his addition to our 2022 collection, he included a pattern for every stage of the Mayfly hatch. With so many naturals during this hatch, having the right imitation is an absolute must. Thus, you won’t want to be without Paul Procter’s Mayfly Life Cycle on the river this season.

Procter’s Active Mayfly Nymph
“Whether you’re fishing still or running water, marabou gives this mayfly unparalleled movement.”
-Paul Procter
Procter’s Active Mayfly Emerger
“With a mobile marabou shuck, you’d be hard pressed to beat this pattern when mayfly are hatching off.”
-Paul Procter
Procter’s Stillborn Mayfly
“A high percentage of duns perish during the emergence stage making them easy pickings at the surface. This splayed pattern has all bases covered.”
-Paul Procter
Procter’s Active Mayfly Dun
“Movement, good profile and highly buoyant, distinguishes Procter’s Active Dun when trout have an eye on mayfly duns.”
-Paul Procter
Procter’s Stuck Shuck Compara May
“With it’s stuck-shuck and low riding attitude this compara dun tempts those edgy trout during the early days of Duffer’s.”
-Paul Procter
Procter’s Twinkle Wing Spinner
“Many mayfly patterns are too rigid in construction. Loaded with CDC this twinkle-wing dressing possesses the busy feel of a distressed spinner during egg-laying.”
-Paul Procter
