Callibaetis, also referred to as mayflies, are tiny, fragile insects that inhabit still water zones, including lakes and ponds. Due to their life cycle, from nymph to adult, they become an essential source of food for trout, which thus helps fishermen to use them as bait. Anglers may get an edge by evoking a feeding frenzy by imitating mayflies on the water’s surface.
Stone Creek Outfitters has put together a set of nymphs that perfectly mimic the Callibaetis hatch and, therefore, get fishermen more fish. These hand-tied flies imitate the behavior and look of natural mayflies, guaranteeing that you won’t lack adequate preparation for your upcoming fishing trip. You can count on Stone Creek Outfitters to make your fly fishing experience even better with our superior gear offerings!
Features of CALLIBAETIS
At Stone Creek Outfitters, our assortment of mayfly lures is made to improve your fly-fishing experience.
- Material: Made of solid and premium fibers with a clear crystal flash for visibility.
- Size Options: Ranging from size #10 to size #20, these nymphs offer versatility for various insect life stages and fishing environments.
- Weight: Lightweight to enable realistic insect mimicking and natural drifting.
- Special Features: Some lures are made to resemble crippled mayflies, which makes them simpler to target for trout. Others have single upright wings or crystal flash posts for greater visibility.
Over several fishing trips, these lures show exceptional endurance by enduring wear. Because of their lightweight structure, which enables them to float naturally and cause fish to eat, their design guarantees ease of use.

How To Cast Perfectly
Setup Instructions
- Connect the Line: First, make sure you have a firm grasp on your fly fishing rods by securing your fishing line to the hook with a conventional clinch knot.
- Take Conditions Into Consideration: Depending on the season and the state of the water, choose the appropriate size lure. Larger sizes are suitable for murkier or swiftly moving water, whereas smaller sizes (#14–#20) perform best in clear, placid seas.
- Position the Lure: Gently toss your lure into the water and let it float along with the tide. Achieve a realistic and seamless display by adjusting the length of your leader.
Usage Tips
- Timing: Cast when the trout are actively eating, usually in the early morning or late afternoon around peak hatching periods.
- Presentation: Let the lure drift freely and repair your line to prevent drag.
- Concentrate on Cripples: Choose locations where trout are probably feeding on emerging or crippled insects in regions with a high insect population.
