GT Triple Double Midge

GT Triple Double Midge is a fly pattern created by Umpqua Signature Tier Gordon Tharrett, designed specifically for the challenging fishing conditions of the A section of the Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Known for its high angler pressure and highly educated trout, this river demands a unique fly to match the selective feeding habits of its fish. The GT Triple Double Midge is not only an effective cluster midge pattern but also works as a crossover ant pattern, giving it versatility in areas where midges and ants are prominent. Its design mimics the natural, clustered appearance of midge pupae rising to the surface while also incorporating an ant-like profile, making it perfect for various hatches. Its simplicity, combined with its ability to blend into the water, makes it an excellent choice for picky trout in pressured waters.

Mend upstream just before the fly enters the feeding zone – While most anglers mend downstream to get their fly to drift naturally, an upstream mend just before the fly reaches the fish's feeding zone can help correct any unnatural drag before it becomes an issue. This subtle technique can give your fly a perfectly natural, static drift as it reaches the fish, increasing your chances of a take from a wary trout.
