Poxyback Callibaetis

The Poxyback Callibaetis from Umpqua is a must-have nymph for stillwater anglers targeting selective trout. With a realistic profile, segmented body, and translucent wing case, it perfectly imitates emerging Callibaetis mayflies. Best fished on lakes like Hat Creek, Fall River, or Lake Almanor, this fly excels when suspended under an indicator or retrieved slowly on a floating or intermediate line. Ideal during Callibaetis hatches in late spring through fall—sizes 14 and 16 match the hatch perfectly when fish are feeding just below the surface.
