Overview

The Umpqua Anato-May in Hare's Ear is a meticulously designed mayfly nymph pattern that effectively imitates a wide range of mayfly species. Created by renowned fly designer Ken Morrish, this fly features an anatomically accurate profile with three tails and six legs, closely resembling natural mayfly nymphs. The Hare's Ear coloration adds to its versatility, making it suitable for various fishing conditions throughout the year.

Constructed with a small black bead head, the Anato-May ensures a natural silhouette while providing the necessary weight for an effective drift. The body is crafted from hare's ear dubbing, offering a realistic texture and appearance that mimics the natural nymphs found in freshwater environments. This design is particularly effective during hatches of March Browns, Baetis, Pale Morning Duns (PMDs), and even small stoneflies like darker-colored Yellow Sallies.

The Anato-May's realistic profile and movement make it a reliable choice for anglers targeting trout in various water types, including rivers, streams, and lakes. Its effectiveness spans across different seasons, proving its worth as a staple in any fly box.Read More +
