There is another fly with name "Bibio marci" in the database. So my fly has got number to vary from the first one. Nothing mystic .

Firetiger 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Karle, I would just hate to disappoint you, you see :yahoo: Denis, Bibio marci is Latin name of the Hawthorn fly, also called St. Mark's fly - it appears in big numbers by the time Hawthorn trees bloom around the St. Mark's day (April 25th). It is the first major terrestrial hatch in the season and on many rivers and lakes provides for exciting dry fly fishing. I'm afraid its presence is limited to Eurasia though. Its close relative is the Heather fly, which is of particular importance on Scottish highland lochs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
