Brown Drake (Ephemera simulans)

$3.25

This large mayfly typically hatches just after Memorial Day, on into early June, just as the Green Drake is waning. Hatching can be sporadic at times, but can also occur in large droves - just as the spinner falls does. Fish will voraciously feed on the spent spinners usually in the tail out of riffles and in long pools. Brown Drakes often hatch in low light or even after dark.
