Podcasts about Mayfly

You may be wondering why you haven’t seen swarms of mayflies yet. Cold water temperatures have delayed their arrival—but don’t worry, they’re on their way. Experts predict the mayflies will begin hatching in Michigan over the next couple of weeks.

After a disappointing Mayfly, in this week's podcast episode, I discuss the hatches we can expect this month, including the Coch y Bonddu beetle, Caenis, Damsels, and Pin Fry. When, where, and how to fish them and make the most of this month, and bring success.

We're nearly into June and the mayfly is finally petering out.  It's hard to believe that it began at Easter time on Corrib, whilst recently, Sheelin has been described as being ‘polluted with fly' where fly anglers have been left with pretty much only suntans this year. So, this week, to find out more, joining us for our annual mayfly season review is Jackie Mahon, fly tyer and guide on Lough Arrow, and Ronan McWilliams, who embarked on a month long road trip taking in Corrib, Arrow and Sheelin.   But all did not go to plan as you'll find out in the episode. Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

  My guest this week is Mike Tayloe [33:07], who is a fishing guide, EMT, and wilderness medicine trainer. Tayloe (he prefers this to Mike) has trained many Orvis-endorsed guides and lodges on emergencies that you'll encounter on the water. Basically, they're the same emergencies you'll find at home but without the ability to get a rescue squad or ambulance quickly. The bad news is that we can't give you training on wilderness medicine on a podcast. The good news is that Tayloe will tell us how to get training for these emergencies (an online course is not the recommended way to go) and how to put together your own first aid kit so that you are prepared to deal with common medical problems. He goes into great detail on what to include in your kit, and recommends places to either get a complete pre-made kit or where to buy the right components—and the best course is not to buy a cheap kit in a big box store. This podcast, with proper training and a good kit, could save your life or that of a fishing buddy.   In the Fly Box this week, we have a number of questions that may answer questions you have had, such as: When should I use split shot as an "in-line" rig as opposed to the drop shot method? Is it better to use fewer big split shot or a number of smaller ones? What can I do with egg yarn other than make egg flies? Mayfly nymphs look flat.  Why don't we use more flies with a flattened shape? Should I cast my streamers upstream, across-stream, or quartering down and swinging? Where should I look for striped bass along a marshy shoreline? How important is color on emerger flies.  Most of the patterns I see imitate the color of the duns but shouldn't we be more concerned with the color of the nymph? Why are high-end fly rods more expensive than high-end conventional rods? When tying flies, should I tie every size in the right range or should I skip sizes?

Join us on this episode of the Arizona Wildlife Federation Podcast as we discuss all things fly fishing, kids, and a dynamic program that brings them together: The Mayfly Project.   https://themayflyproject.com/ https://www.azwildlife.org/ 

Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself. Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth — 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years. It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely...

Joining us on this week's show is Paul Molloy from Oughterard whose family has been steeped in Irish fly fishing for generations living and working by the shore of Lough Corrib. And as a kid growing up, Paul tells us of the mayfly market where they would be selling mayflies by the dozen and then as he got older how he got more and more into the fly tying side of things becoming an All Ireland Youths champion. These days Paul lives in Tipperary but the call of the loughs is strong and he tells us why Corrib is still so special to him. Pic: https://www.Instagram.com/Pauly_MolloyRate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple or Spotify, plus you can sign up for our newsletter on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

It's time for our second and final mayfly update from around the country and this week we're hearing how Lough Sheelin and Lough Arrow fared with Eamonn Ross and Jackie Mahon.   Eamonn explains how the fishing was fantastic the first week the mayfly was up with some incredible fish being caught, but it's been tougher since then. Meanwhile on Arrow, Jackie describes it as patchy, and similar to many other places, if you were able to hit it at the right time, the fishing could be top drawer, but outside of the windows it was proving to be much harder.  Rate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.    Plus you can sign up for our newsletter on IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

We've our first update of the mayfly season for this week's show and Mike Keady joins us to tell us how Corrib has been fishing. The weather has been unsettled and cold which hasn't helped things, Mike tells us, but he does expect it to pick up for the next 1-2 weeks so if you have the opportunity do try and make the most of it before it finishes up on Corrib. On Derg, Shane Creamer was out fishing for the week but he did send in an update with word that it has been very slow.  However, there have been some bumper days when winds were light and some very good fish caught in the 4-6lb bracket on dries. Rate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.    Plus you can sign up for our newsletter on IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.

If you fish for walleyes (bass, trout, pike, perch, even muskies) you won't believe what you're going to learn from biologist, Bev Ritchie, who discovered that the magnificent hexigenia limbata hatch so heavily in even numbered years - like this year — that the walleyes go berserk devouring them. There are as many as 120 mayfly nymphs crawling around every square metre or yard of lake bottom and the fish pounce on them and eat them almost exclusively when they're about to hatch. Which is any day now. It is why the walleye bite often slows down when the mayflies start hatching, but we're going to tell you how you can turn this into the most exciting walleye fishing of the season. You're not going to want to miss this episode.

It's the time of year when fishers begin to come out in force for fishing season. To find out more about river fishing as well as to give us advice and tips on fishing in general,Alan Morrissey was joined by Christopher O'Meara, Secretary of the Killaloe/Ballina District Anglers.

...in which we explore the industrial and social history of Barrow-in-Furness in the company of former mayor John Murphy and artist Maddi Nicholson. Overlooking Walney Channel and distant Black Combe, we delve into the Furness peninsula's deep past, when monks arrived in the secluded 'valley of the deadly nightshade'. We proceed to the discovery of iron ore, and Barrow's subsequent overnight transformation, from backwater farming hamlet into 'the Chicago of England'. In a whistle-stop tour of the town, we discuss the leaning tower of its remarkable town hall, the daily toil of workers in 'the Shed', the 'boilermaker's whisper' and the 'hellfires' that blazed above molten slag. Entering the war years, we consider Barrow's role in re-arming the nation, the realities of the Barrow Blitz and the construction of Barnes Wallis' ill-fated dirigible ‘Mayfly' – that did not fly. Finally, on a tour of the fabulous space at Art Gene, we learn about the social history of the town – through shops, hairdressing, meat pies and a moose.– before celebrating the forgotten women of Barrow and Walney, including Peggy Braithwaite, Britain's only woman lighthouse keeper and a mean shot with a rifle. For more information about the Re:discover Barrow Exhibition see art-gene.co.uk/place-rediscover-barrow-exhibition/ You can find out more about Maddi at art-gene.co.uk/artists-and-residences/maddi-nicholson/ and Art Gene generally at art-gene.co.uk

Discover the ephemeral beauty of mayflies and the pressing need to conserve our precious wetlands with Dr. Luke Jacobus, whose boundless enthusiasm for Ephemeroptera and Indiana's wetland ecosystems shines brightly in our latest conversation. As we wander through his journey from a curious child enthralled by the natural world to a professor and researcher safeguarding the state's environmental heritage, you'll be captivated by tales from the field and the dedication required to study these fleeting creatures. Dr. Jacobus's experiences underscore the importance of understanding and protecting the diverse life that dwells within our own backyards, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all species, no matter how minute.The story of Indiana's wetlands is a poignant one, marked by loss yet filled with hope. We traverse through the history of altered landscapes, from the draining of Beaver Lake to the reshaping of the Kankakee River, shedding light on the struggle to preserve the remnants of these ecosystems. Dr. Jacobus highlights the critical roles wetlands play—beyond hosting biodiversity, they offer essential services such as water purification and flood control. Our discussion extends to the broader challenges of freshwater conservation and the significance of engaging stakeholders in a united effort to protect these environments for future generations.

Soundkünstler und Komponist J. Peter Schwalm hat in seinem Klangstück zwei Kompositionsebenen für seine Protagonisten erfunden. Die "Mayfly“, die Eintagsfliege auf der einen Seite und die Astronauten im Raumschiff „Mayfly“ auf der anderen Seite wechseln sich stetig ab. Dabei stehen die emotionalen, fragenden Klänge des Klaviers für die Welt der Fliege und den vielschichtigen, technischen und zum Teil bedrohlichen Klängen für die Welt der beiden Astronauten und ihr Raumschiff. Der Tod der Eintagsfliege ist ebenso unabwendbar wie der der Astronauten. (Audio verfügbar bis 30.03.2025)

In this episode we talk to Andre Davis. Andre is an avid outdoorsman who finds peace and restoration in the demonstrative power of God's nature. He is a proud big brother, uncle, son and husband. Andre' has spent a lifetime outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, building, playing music and teaching. Married to a sixth grade teacher, his household is full of the desire to teach and lead our youth well, with the joyful expectation of watching them become better than ourselves. Andre' has a non-profit called Skillz and Gills where kids are taught the basics of fly fishing, how to set up a rig, fly casting, all about waterways, ecosystems, conservation, and fish handling. He's a staple in the Alabama fly fishing community, a mentor of the Mayfly Project, an avid fly tier, and friend of the show. Many of you may be surprised to know that Andre is also an excellent writer and storyteller. We've had the privilege of reading several of his personal essays and we talk about those on the show. We had Andre on once before at the international fly fishing film festival at Cahaba Brewery last year, but we wanted to extend our conversation with him this year. We know you will enjoy hearing from our friend, Andre Davis.

In this week's episode, we sit down with Captain Robin Simms, who just received her certification to operate 150 foot vessels. Robin is a longtime friend of the show and vital member of the Alabama flyfishing community. We previously had Robin on the show in a mini episode at the international fly fishing film festival at Cahaba brewery last year. We go into more depth with Robin in this episode and discuss Alabama women on the fly, her guide services, and a host of other topics centered around a life lived on the water… Including a harrowing story from her time in Alaska involving a very little boat on very big waves. We absolutely love what Robin brings to this episode, as well as what she brings to the outdoor community with her innovative approach to getting new people on the water. We hope you enjoy!

“Hoots and derision, which did not worry me at all,” Lilian Bland wrote, describing her visit to an airshow in Blackpool, England in 1909. She'd been telling everyone there that she intended to build and fly her own airplane. They were unimpressed. Lilian was undeterred. She built a DIY plane of bamboo, wood, and fabric, with a bicycle handlebar for steering and an engine she carried from England back to her home in Ireland. But would the Mayfly, as she called it, fly?

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/561 Presented By: TroutRoutes, Togens Fly Shop Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Growing up with a fishing rod in my hand and the sprawling lakes of Kamloops, BC, as my backyard, I know the serene joy of fly fishing runs deep. Stanton, an old friend and seasoned angler, joins us to share his journey from humble beginnings to the evolution of his craft amidst the myriad challenges and triumphs of fly fishing. We wade through the currents of time, recounting the days of learning the ropes with simple gear and the familial bonds that are intertwined with the pull of the line and the dance of the fly. Stanton's narrative is a blend of personal reflection and a wider lens on the sport's progress, discussing how techniques like chironomid fishing took root and flourished in our local waters, thanks to innovators like his brother Patrick. As our lines cast further into the conversation, Stanton opens up about his hiatus from angling following his daughter's birth—a relatable pause for any parent—and his subsequent reeling back into the competitive sphere. Our chat navigates the shifts in fish populations, the integration of new fishing strategies, and Stanton's aspirations of representing Canada in national competitions. With a nod to the mark left by mentors such as Brian Chan and Phil Rowley, we recognize the intricate tapestry of competitive fishing, its history, and the fresh wave of talent setting their sights on the legacy of the sport. Tying it all together, Stanton brings us shore-side to discuss the vibrant world of fishing lakes and the lure of saltwater challenges. He skillfully guides us through the art of fly tying, revealing innovative techniques that give anglers the edge across seasons. From family roots to the professional crossovers between his classical guitar career and angling pursuits, Stanton's tapestry of passions is a reminder of the joy found in sharing our deepest interests with the community, be it through music, podcasting, or the timeless tradition of fly fishing.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/557B Presented By: Angler's Coffee Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors When the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee mingles with tales of riverside camaraderie, you know it's time to pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup. That's exactly what we did with Joe from Anglers Coffee, stirring up a conversation as hearty as their newest Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout coffee blends. As we took a virtual tour of Anglers Coffee's eventful year, Joe spilled the beans on the dynamics between specialty Arabica and robust Robusta, and the launch of their high-octane Stimulator blend. We also got the inside scoop on their latest splash at the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival and the buzz around the upcoming show in Edison, New Jersey. Amidst the winter chill, there's nothing like the promise of a hopeful steelhead run to warm the spirits of anglers braving Washington's Olympic Peninsula. In this spirit, I shared my own winter fishing tales and the reflective art of fly tying, drawing a parallel to the craft of brewing the perfect cup. We explored the trade-offs between the purity of freshly ground beans and the convenience of K-Cups and steeping pouches, all while keeping sustainability at the forefront. Wrapping up the episode, we circled back to a previous conversation about the heartwarming work with foster children, and the importance of supporting such causes through our communities. Join us for this episode where we celebrate the fusion of coffee, fishing, and the shared values that keep our streams—and our cups—overflowing.

This week we look at one of the strangest flying insects out there and their behaviors. There are many kinds of scorpionflies and they are all pretty different.    Support the show -> patreon.com/user?u=46499107 IG: https://www.instagram.com/insects4fun/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085443614825 Email: Insectsfordummies@gmail.com   Music from Lofi Girl:  Richard Smithson, Cubase, Mondo Loops, Sátyr Transcript:    Welcome back to episode 50 of Insects for Fun! The weekly podcast covering all things entomology. This week we are looking into a very interesting type of fly which is actually not a fly at all, and kinda seems more like a chimera than anything else!   Intro:  Scorpion flies are a group of insects belonging to the order Mecoptera which means long wings, but the wings are not the most interesting thing about these insects. There is one family in particular called panorpidae, and the males in this family have an abdomen which curves upward and has a large bulb-like structure with a pointed tip at the end. This family has the most species and is the main reason why Mecoptera are often referred to as scorpionflies. That being said, those showy and intimidating tails are only for mating, and can't harm you or anything else. Another really wacky feature for these insects would be their long mouths.The heads are actually small but the mouth itself is really big. The term for a mouth like this is called a rostrum which I mentioned in the Acorn weevil episode!   As for the wings, they are heavily veined and have a more primitive appearance as if they came from a Mayfly. I really can't stress enough how strange these insects look, it's like someone just took random parts from different insects and put them together into this monster we call a scorpion fly.    The distribution for these is worldwide but the diversity is strangely separated. For example there is more variety at a species level within Africa, and the European continent, but there is greater variety in families and genera in the Americas and Australasia.    And not all of these scorpionflies look this weird. There are 9 families within the order, and each one looks pretty different. For example one family called Bittacidae look like four winged crane flies and are often referred to as hangflies or hanging scorpions. Another family called Boreidae look more like fleas or even the flightless midge found in antarctica.    Life Cycle, and food source etc:  In general scorpion flies prefer more humid environments in forests and grasslands surrounded by broadleaf vegetation like oak trees or other shrubbery with flat leaves to rest on. These insects feed on everything from honeydew and nectar to dead or dying organisms. Many of them actually snatch prey out of spider webs which is really cool!    Some though are carnivorous scavengers that prey upon smaller insects and sometimes even spiders. The hanging flies mentioned earlier are in this camp and have a really cool method for catching prey. These flies literally hang on the edges of plants with their legs dangling down and they grab insects mid flight to feed on.    The life cycle for these insects is holometabolous which means that they have a larval and pupal stage. The larvae for scorpionflies actually resemble caterpillars and spend their time in the ground feeding on decaying matter and other small insects except for one special family found  in New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, Chile and Argentina. This special family called Nannochoristidae have aquatic larvae that prey on smaller animals in riverbeds. They are also believed to be one of the only larvae that have true compound eyes, which is wild because compound eyes are known to be a special trait in adult insects (insert naruto quote)    I can't speak for every scorpionfly out there, but in general these have one generation a year with the pupae staying dormant during the winter months.    Females lay their eggs in the soil, and require a certain moisture level in order for eggs to hatch in a timely manner. This is not uncommon with insects that develop in the ground, such as beetles and cicadas etc. And if the moisture levels are off it can delay the hatching of scorpionflies up to months.  Behaviors:    When it comes to mating, Scorpion flies have some interesting rituals, and they usually involve offering a female some kind of incentive to woo her. For example, common scorpionflies which are the crazy monster looking ones have three separate tactics for luring a mate. The first two are to offer wads of spit or a dead arthropod (super enticing I know). Though sometimes they try to mate without offering anything! (gasp) (those pigs).  Apparently the practice of giving a female a gift is for distracting the female resulting in longer mating time. I personally think this is hilarious, and it reminds me of the safari zone tactics in pokemon games where you throw a berry or w/e to increase your catching odds and prolong the encounter.    Hanging Flies use pheromones to lure a female, and then offer them a special hostage. But as great as some males are, there's a lot of competition, and these flies have to get crafty sometimes. Scorpionflies are known to sometimes mimic the behaviors of a female in order to take gifts from other males, sometimes they also just show up for sloppy seconds. They literally wait around for a new female to fly into the area and then present her with whatever is left from the previous male's gift. That's literally showing up to someone else's date after they left, taking the flowers or whatever chocolate is left and handing it to a new girl (How you doin?). The worst part is this actually works, a lot…    Now of course each family of scorpionflies has their own quarks and gimmicks as well, for example the wingless snow scorpions in the family Boreidae which are the flea looking fellas just jump on a female and stay on them for up to 12 hours, just chillin there. Literally and figuratively these cold climate scorpion flies just go about their usual day after pairing by moving around and feeding while the females do absolutely nothing.    Defenses and Predators:    Scorpionflies aren't really known for having any special defenses, and as a result I was unable to pull up anything in regards to how they protect themselves from other insects or insect eating animals, but! I was able to find something interesting in regards to their preference for dead animals. Scorpionflies are actually now used by forensic entomologists because they are one of the first responders to a decaying human body, even before the much more famous blowflies which I mentioned in my forensic entomology episode. 

Baetisca is a genus of armored mayflies in the family Baetiscidae. There are about 12 described species in Baetisca.

In this episode, Joshua and Caleb interview Jess Westbrook of The Mayfly Project. The Mayfly Project is a nonprofit organization that uses fly fishing as a catalyst to mentor children in foster care. Their mission is to support children in foster care through fly fishing and introduce them to their local water ecosystems, with a hope that connecting them to a rewarding hobby will provide an opportunity for foster children to have fun, feel supported, and develop a meaningful connection with the outdoors. In this episode, we discuss: -Being driven by fly fishing -Finding healing from anxiety and trauma on the river -Creating opportunities for foster kids to heal -How The Mayfly Project impacts kids -The growth of The Mayfly Project -Connecting the most vulnerable population with some of the most passionate people -How to get involved in The Mayfly Project Learn more about The Mayfly Project: Website: https://themayflyproject.com/ Instagram: @themayflyproject Check out our sponsors: Maggie Valley Fly Shop: https://www.maggievalleyflyshop.com/ Trout Routes: https://troutinsights.com/ Anadromous Fly Company: https://www.aflyco.com/ Support DadsOnTheFly: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=84380068 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dadsonthefly/support

This week, my guest is longtime guide, fly shop owner, journalist, musician, and all-around great guy Jim McLennan [40:26]. Jim is a thoughtful fly fisher who always has solid tips on fly-fishing techniques, and this week we talk about mayfly spinners—their mysteries, how to identify when they are active, and how to target trout feeding on them. Mayfly spinner falls are some of the best opportunities to catch large trout on a dry fly because trout gorge on them and sometimes get stupid, so it pays to have some intelligence on taking advantage of these opportunities. And this is a timely podcast because in most parts of the country, we are about to get into the prime season for the tiny Trico spinners. In the Fly Box this week, we have some intriguing questions and tips from listeners, including: Why can I do to prevent my mono eyes from breaking on my tarpon flies? How do I clean my saltwater flies after a trip so they aren't all mangled? Can I use more than one subsurface fly with a dry-dropper rig? How can I fish a deep plunge pool with a dry-dropper? I have broken a bunch of rods in the past couple years. Is it due to my bad casting? Some great tips from a relatively new angler on where to get the best help and advice. What is a good way to enjoy a fly-fishing trip with a young family? How can I break into writing stories and poems about fly fishing? Is using a stomach (throat) pump unethical, and is it looked down upon by other fly fishers? A tip for using neoprene socks when wet wading In the short and long term, what do you expect the results of the Yellowstone flood will be?

In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Kaitlin Barnhart from Coeur d'Alene Idaho.  Kaitlin was introduced to fly fishing in Alaska, and continued to fish whenever she could after moving to Idaho.  Kaitlin has a professional background in mental health and co-founded The Mayfly Project to help foster children through fly fishing.  We discuss fly fishing in Northern Idaho, and The Mayfly Project.If you would like to find out more about the Mayfly Project visit:https://themayflyproject.com/For more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at: https://wadeoutthere.com/
