Match the Hatch: Dry Fly Fishing in Mayfly Heaven | Flymaniacs with Veig.no Erlend & Cato

Welcome to witness one of the craziest dry fly fishing film you’ll ever see. We filmed a FLY TV episode in 2022 where Veig.no guys Erlend Vivelid Nilssen and Cato Vivelid Monsen were fishing for some mayfly hatches. As we all know these insect hatches are always like a coin flip situation where conditions and fishing gods play significant role. Wind, air temperature, air pressure and several other factors determine wheter the hatch will come or not. In 2022 we were honestly very unlucky with the conditions. It was windy, cold, rainy and hatching was small making the fishing slow and fish inactive. So in 2023 we decided to give another go for this project. Based on previous experiences, we knew that if we hit right conditions, the fishing should be good. Very good. And it could be Great. Even Fantastic. We could not be two time that unlucky, or could we? #Flymaniacs went all in on Summer 2023 for the another try. And everything turned out to be… Perfect. Welcome to follow a maniac day of mayfly fishing in Norway. This is a Dry or Die episode and this time we did not Die. Size #10 mayflies hatching everywhere, lake run brown trout coming in the river after them. If a flyfisherman had a Heaven, for many of us it would look and feel like this.
