Low Rider Midge

Low Rider Midge by RIO is a fly pattern designed to replicate a midge that has just risen to the surface, preparing to break through to adulthood.

Use slow, deliberate retrieves for a natural appearance – The Low Rider Midge excels when fished with a slow, steady retrieve. When midges are rising to the surface, they typically move slowly, so mimicking this behavior with a controlled retrieve can increase the chances of a strike. Try a "slow strip" approach, ensuring the fly stays at or just beneath the surface, in line with the natural emergence of the midge.
