Iron Blue Dun

The iron blue is a great early season fly with hatches of the insect  coming on in late march  through to may and into the summer months , the first two months are the best times to fish the dry fly .
On my local rivers there are normally some very good hatches of the insects towards the end of march  and into late may and beyond and some good fishing is possible .

It is probably one of the first good hatches of fly and it will be seen right into the summer months but the dry pattern will fish best in the early part of the season when trout  don’t tend to be as choosy .
The Iron blue is an insect that is fairly widespread across Ireland and well known to most fly fishermen
