    While we were out fishing saw lots of mayflies and I’m guessing it affects the fishing and I was wondering how long does the hatch usually last??

    Usually a few days to a week or so but things are different this year with the flooding and the recent cold weather

    They were pretty bad by the back channel and Red Wing bridges last night I hear.

    I don’t fish for walleyes of course…and I hear mixed responses on if they affect the bite.

    Might have something to do with them only hatching on a stretch of river at a time(?)
