Description

Midges are a year-round food source, especially prominent in colder months when larger insect hatches subside. The Madeira Midge's subtle flash and natural silhouette perfectly mimic an emerging midge, making it an irresistible target for trout.

Field Notes

This is a midge imitation for trout, especially effective when insect activity is sparse and fish are feeding selectively. Fish it as part of a nymph rig or under an indicator in slow, cold water where small naturals are the main food source.

Pros

  • Natural midge silhouette
  • Subtle flash can trigger selective trout
  • Useful year-round, especially in colder months

Cons

  • Very small profile can be hard to see
  • Best when trout are keyed in on tiny insects
