    Default Which mayfly color to get?


    Which is the best color mayfly to get? I haven’t bought any yet. Typically I fish clear waters on lakes. Typically my go to has been blue ice in the BG baby Shad but still learning how to catch

    Monkey Milk and Mayfly have my vote for real clear waters (or shallow water), but if the waters are just "normal" (like visibility of a white jig at 2' deep or less) and/or I was fishing deeper than say 10+fow ... I wouldn't pass up Cajun Cricket & Neon Nymph.

    I'm just surprised that these "Mayfly" creature baits don't come in the actual Mayfly color .... TAN !! What's up wit dat ??

    I see no reason why you couldn't catch fish on them, now. But, personally I think right now would be a better time to use them for Black Crappie. Black Crappie eat "critters" more often than White Crappie ... except maybe in the Spring or when the actual Mayfly hatch occurs.

    (and if you'd rather have something like them, but with a curly tail, check out the Slabanator Slabmites)

    I have them in Blue Ice. They work well when shooting under docks
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    I don’t have any. Guess I need to try and find some. Don’t think I’ve seen them in my local Walmart.

    I didn’t think you could shoot them, is it harder to with a bigger bait?

    Lol true but there isn’t lakes near us with good dock shooting, at least that I’ve seen (that not saying much lol)
