Morgan's Midge

Morgan's Midge: Was featured in Fly Fisherman magazine in 2003, bringing it into the spotlight, though not everyone was thrilled by the publicity. Several guides, particularly on famous tailwaters, had long considered it their secret weapon for tricky conditions when the fishing was difficult. The fly was created by Scott Morgan, who recognized the midge's incredible effectiveness during tough hatches, especially when fish were picky. Despite its growing fame, many anglers still swear by Morgan's Midge as the "best dry midge ever fished," noting its unrivaled success when traditional patterns fail to catch fish during tough hatch conditions.

Slow the Drift in Fast Water: While it's a great fly for slow-moving tailwaters, Morgan’s Midge can also work in faster currents. Use a carefully controlled, slow drift to mimic the way midges rise through the water column. Keep the fly from being dragged too fast to maintain its natural look.
