My grandson, Nathaniel, and I discovered brown drakes all over the side of our house yesterday. We decided to capture some in a jar to take a close look. Nathaniel's curiosity towards these mayflies was quite fascinating to watch. Oh the fish on the Red Deer River love brown drakes. Brown trout, goldeye, walleye, whitefish, and even pike will rise to devour a brown drake. Brown trout will definitely come out from their hiding spots to sip down brown drakes. For the most part, brown drakes pop at dusk but I have seen brown drakes emerge on an overcast day. If you love fly fishing the Red Deer River, definitely have a spot for brown drakes in your fly box.
