The Deleatidium nymph belongs to the mayfly family and is commonly found in freshwater streams. Here’s what you need to know:

Description:
- Labrum: Deleatidium nymphs have a wide labrum—a flap-like structure in front of their mouth.
- Feeding Behavior: They scrape diatom algae and other organic matter from stone surfaces.
- Habitat: Look for them in streams with moderate algae cover, as they avoid heavily algae-covered streambeds.
Fishing Techniques:
- Nymphing: Since Deleatidium nymphs are part of a trout’s diet, nymphing (using wet flies that resemble nymphs) is effective.
- Sight-Fishing: In shallower waters, sight-fishing upstream without a bulky strike indicator can be successful.
- Straight Upstream Casting: Use this method during insect hatches when fish are rising to feed.

Remember to adapt your approach based on local conditions and enjoy fishing with the Deleatidium nymph!
