From Our Own Correspondent: Time of the Mayfly
This is the time when mayflies hatch in Western Ireland, luring brown trout to the loughs of County Galway where keen anglers lie in wait
The mayfly is a butterfly-sized insect which hatches in the lakes of Western Ireland during early summer. As Diarmaid Fleming explains, the swarms make a favoured meal for brown trout - and that means a minor stampede of keen anglers hoping to reel in some delicious fish. In County Galway, the mayfly's habits and appearance are the stuff of local gossip and great excitement.
