Mayfly Nymphs

Mayfly nymphs are a cornerstone in any trout angler’s fly selection, representing the immature aquatic stage of mayflies that trout feed on heavily throughout the year. These subsurface insects form a critical part of the food chain, and accurately imitating them with quality mayfly nymphs can dramatically increase your catch rate in rivers and streams.

Our collection of mayfly nymphs features a variety of proven patterns designed to match different mayfly species and life stages. From slender, pale imitations to darker, robust forms, these flies replicate the natural colors, shapes, and movement trout recognize. Our mayfly nymphs are perfect for fishing in fast currents, pocket water, and deep runs where trout lie in wait.

Fishing with mayfly nymphs is effective year-round and especially productive during pre-hatch and post-hatch periods when trout key in on subsurface food sources. Whether you use them as stand-alone flies or in tandem rigs, a strong selection of mayfly nymphs is essential for consistent success on the water.
