Like most trout flies the Bibbio Fly is a sparsely tied fly .I find that the Bibbio Fly comes into its own as a dropper on cloudy and overcast days and calm conditions. In such conditions whether fishing from the bank or in a boat i have found that a roving approach works best .Trying different places all day seems to produce the best results. The bibbio fly is one of the standard trout flies used on stillwaters because of its success. In spring the bibbio fly is particularly attractive to trout in shallow waters when fished slowly. No bibbio fly pattern available as yet. Look out for the natural hatch as bibbio flies tend to swarm after hatching sometimes in enormous numbers. The bibbio fly originated in Ireland in County Mayo in the 1950’s, where the bibbio fly was originally used to catch sea trout and the occasional salmon. The Bibbio Fly belongs to the order of flies and insects called Diptera , sometimes called true flies as they only have a single sets of wings. Bibbio flies are also known as Heather Flies and Hawthorn Flies in the UK. In the U.S. they are known as March Flies.I have had success using the Bibbio Fly on both still waters and rivers right up to the last day of the season in Wales, however spring time is by far the best time to use the Bibbio Fly.
