Acting almost like a miniature soft hackle, the ostrich herl on this pattern moves underwater in a natural way, triggering strikes. This pattern features a thread body, ultra wire ribbing, a glass bead, UV shrimp pink thorax and a peacock herl collar. An excellent imitation of an emerging midge pupa. Midges hatch year round, so there should be every stage of the midge life-cycle in your box in a variety of sizes/colors. Try larger sizes (#16-#18) in the spring and summer and smaller (#20-#22) in the fall/winter.
This listing is for 4 flies, please message any questions or custom orders. IMPORTANT HOOK DETAILS: These flies are tied on barbless, black nickel finished scud hooks in sizes #16-20, or BARBED, bronze finished scud style hooks in size #22.
