Beadhead Poxyback Callibaetis

One of the few families of mayfly that make their home in lakes and ponds, the Callibaetis mayfly is a 365 day a year trout favorite across most of the country. These free swimming mayflies are always accessible to feeding trout in the waters in which they live, but it is in the late spring through the summer that the Beadhead Poxyback Callibaetis really shines! Retrieve this fly through the lake, or let it drift on your favorite trout river! This generalist pattern has wide appeal and is an excellent match for a number of mayfly nymphs!
