I developed this Midge Larva pattern to stand out in the crowded midge hatches that we see on our tailwaters through out the winter and spring. No, this pattern does not have any colors that are found in midge larva, but fish can’t resist the color combos that are incorporated into this pattern.
This is one of my go-to midge patterns during a heavy midge hatch. I typically run this pattern as my point fly on a two fly rig with a more natural colored fly as my trailing fly.
