Crystal Midge

The Crystal Midge Emerger is the same as a Black Beauty Emerger with a bead head for added weight. It’s a great winter fishing pattern when trout are selectively feeding on midge emergers. This pattern is designed to imitate the translucent and shiny appearance of midge pupae as they ascend to the water's surface to hatch.

Subsurface Drift: Fish the Crystal Midge just below the surface film during midge hatches. Use a light tippet (6X or 7X) and present the fly with a dead drift to mimic the natural ascent of emerging midges.
