ICU Midge fly pattern - Midge nymph image

Description

ICU Midge is a fly pattern designed by Umpqua Signature tier Norman Maktima, created to provide a realistic "in the round" profile that makes it stand out as an attractor pattern for midges and even annelids. The fly’s slender body and tungsten bead ensure a fast sink rate, making it highly effective in various nymphing rigs.

Pro Tip

Use in fast-moving water for quicker sink rates – Due to the tungsten bead and slender profile, the ICU Midge sinks quickly, making it ideal for fast-moving currents. Use it in riffles or swift seams where the fish are feeding on midges drifting through the water.
