Rojo Midge

The Rojo Midge, designed by Greg Garcia in the 1990s, is a simple yet highly effective fly pattern developed to imitate the larval and pupal stages of midges, a primary food source for trout year-round. Its bright red body and silver ribbing mimic the appearance of bloodworms, a midge larva common in oxygen-depleted waters.

Add a single drop of thin UV resin to the glass bead before curing—it magnifies the bead’s color and creates a subtle glow effect that stands out in low light or slightly stained water, triggering eats when fish ignore standard midges.
