Mayflies are one of the most common aquatic insects in North America — and nearly every fish species eats them. Bluegill, crappie, perch, bass, and trout all feed on mayfly nymphs as a natural food source throughout the year. When you throw a lure that looks and moves like a real mayfly, you’re matching what fish instinctively hunt.
That’s exactly why the DeLong Lures Pre-Rigged Mayfly Nymph performs so well. It’s molded with the same transparent golden-yellow tone as a live mayfly nymph, complete with tiny legs and split tails that flutter in the water.
Most insect-style fishing baits are made with stiff plastics that don’t move naturally in the water. DeLong Lures does things differently:
Because the hook is molded into the bait, it won’t pull out — even after dozens of fish. That makes this lure incredibly long-lasting and ideal for anglers who fish frequently.
Mayfly nymphs thrive in clean, shallow waters — ponds, rivers, and streams with rock or gravel bottoms. Fish them:
If you fish in the South, especially in Florida, you’ll find mayflies nearly year-round — and this bait flat-out catches fish when other options fail.
Every DeLong Lure is poured, rigged, and packaged in the USA. The Mayfly Nymph continues that 75+ year legacy of craftsmanship, durability, and innovation. Few baits on the market combine old-school hand-pouring with modern performance — and that’s why anglers who try it once usually order more.
