Description
The Midge Adult Dry is a fly pattern designed to imitate the adult midge, one of the most common and abundant insects found in freshwater environments. Originating in the 1940s, the Midge Dry was created by a number of early fly tyers looking to mimic the small, floating adults that often appear in large numbers during hatch periods. The Midge Dry is a versatile fly, suitable for a wide range of freshwater conditions where midges are present
Pro Tip
Gentle Presentation: Avoid false casting when presenting the Midge Adult Dry, especially in clear water. A soft, direct cast will ensure that the fly lands lightly, mimicking the natural landing of midges, which are rarely seen making a large splash.
