    How long does this mayfly hatch usually last?

    They usually last about 3 weeks but do have some moderate to minor hatches as late as mid August. With all of the thunder storms it may be shorter time frame for the major hatches this year. They seem to hatch more during the thunder storms than if there were few or no thunder storms.

    Well if they like thunderstorms they would be hatching at my house.... Have had now 13 inches rain in last 18 days.... Only 2 days of the 18 it hasn't rained. Checked my boat couple of days ago and marina was empty. All these storms on the lake are like cabin fever in Feb all over again...
