A hatch of mayflies dancing against a half moon. When mayflies, order ephemeroptera, hatch it can be in large numbers and their courtship is known as the dance of the mayflies where they fly with an up and down motion to attract a mate. During this period trout feed on them and it is popular to go trout fishing at this time as the trout will take imitation mayflies when flyfishing. The period of the mayfly hatch is sometimes called Duffer’s Fortnight as the trout are deemed easy to catch by any angler. Dorset Stour River, Dorset England UK
