Hey everybody, I was wondering how bad the mayflies have still been in the evening. If anybody has been out this past week during the evening, and could possibly let me know how bad they have been, I'd greatly apreciate it. Thanks alot everybody! Enjoy the lovely day ahead.

Not a bad hatch this year at all. Live off 11 mile and only had a few. I have seen yrs where they cover the street. This year was very weak. (which I don't mind at all) Maybe cold temps have something to do with it.

i was out in algonac tuesday evening and only seen a few fish flies. but the skeeters were the worse i have ever seen,drove me off the river, literally swarms of them

not bad at all. They didn't even change the bulbs at valero this year. Usually I'm sliding through traffic lights at night and I haven't even slid once

cold summer

Thanks a ton everybody for the information!

Hard to say IMO. We have been blessed with a TON of West winds the past month and maybe the hatch was normal but they all blew off-shore?

I agree in that I have had very few on the house, and I as well have not slid through any intersections.

I read an article in In-Fisherman magazine regarding fish flies, and it said that the heaviest hatches occur in even number years. I live in the Chesterfield Twp. area and I don't believe we even came close to our yearly quota.

I had one day (june 25) that they were pretty bad, but nothing like ive seen in previous years.

Holy cow did we have a bad hatch yesterday. They were everywhere on my house last night. The most I've seen all year. Valero was covered this morning

Wow what a cool signature, Kevin

It seems like everything has been behind 2-3 weeks due to how late winter lasted. Wonder if that caused the hatch to be more spread out.
