About the Mayfly
Mayflies have upright wings as they enter adulthood. They have prominent tails and a curved body. Their life cycle is twenty four hours and flies are tied to mimic nearly every phase. They are very graceful and slow in flight unless they are in spinner phase where they often quickly dip down and fly up again.
