Fulling Mill May Comb Wulff Dry Fly

Fulling Mill May Comb Wulff Dry Fly is a carefully designed mayfly imitation that captures one of the most important and often overlooked stages of the hatch – the moment just after emergence, when the insect displays a distinctive yellow-green tinge as it dries its wings before taking flight.

Trout are well tuned to this vulnerable stage and will often single out these freshly emerged insects in preference to fully formed mayflies. The May Comb Wulff replicates this colour and profile perfectly, making it a deadly option when trout are feeding confidently on the surface.

Tied on a size 10 hook and rated as Group 3, this fly is designed to sit high and naturally in the surface film, allowing trout to take it without hesitation. The classic Wulff silhouette also gives excellent visibility for the angler, even in broken water or low light.

Whether you are fishing Irish loughs, stillwaters or rivers during a mayfly hatch, the May Comb Wulff is a must-have pattern for matching this crucial stage of the insect’s life cycle and tempting even the most selective trout to rise.
