- Green Drake mayflies · Drunella grandis
The Green Drake is the biggest mayfly hatch of the year in many western rivers. This large, heavily hackled pattern imitates Drunella grandis duns, which can be size #10-12. When the Green Drake hatch is on, even the most wary brown trout abandon caution to gorge on these oversized mayflies.
