Field Notes

A midge pattern like this is best fished as a small subsurface fly for selective trout in clear water. It works well under an indicator, as part of a nymph rig, or on a dead-drift through slow seams and pocket water.

Pros

  • Small profile matches natural midge food sources
  • Epoxy coating adds shine and durability
  • Flashback and wire detail can improve visibility

Cons

  • Tiny hook size can be hard to see and tie on
  • Best when trout are feeding on small insects, so it can be less effective outside midge hatches
