Mercury Midge
2.5 / 5
(0 Reviews)
Description
The Mercury Midge is a classic fly pattern created by renowned fly tier and angler, Pat Dorsey. What really makes this midge pattern deadly is the glass bead that really does look like a small gas bubble under water. This simulates the gas bubble generated during midge pupation that provides the midge a lift to the water surface. The Mercury Midge is a go-to fly when the fish decide they are not going to eat.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
When using two or three flies make one of them red it’s a deadly combo
