Found across the Eastern US and Canada and as far West as Arkansas, the Eastern Green Drake or Ephemera guttulata hatch is rivaled only in size and numbers by that of the giant Hex mayflies. Renowned for the clouds of large, light colored duns and spinners that cover trout rivers every May and June, even the largest trout will leave their deep refuges to aggressively feed on the surface. While quick to emerge from the water, the dun life stage will drift for a long time before taking flight, making it especially susceptible to feeding trout. The BXB Green Drake Coffin Fly is a nearly spot-on imitation of both the dun and spinner, and is a go-to pattern when fishing this epic hatch!
