MICRO MIDGE OLIVE

Description

Micro Midge Olive is a subtle and deadly midge pattern ideal for technical trout water, especially in winter and early spring. Tied with a slim olive thread body, ribbing, and minimal flash, this pattern imitates tiny midges and larval stages with a natural presentation that won’t spook wary fish.

Olive is one of the most productive midge colors, closely mimicking the natural hues found in cold, clear water environments. Whether trout are feeding just subsurface or drifting mid-column, the Micro Midge Olive presents a lifelike profile that consistently produces strikes when larger patterns fail.

Ideal for tailwaters, spring creeks, and clear freestone rivers, this fly performs best on light tippet (6x–7x) with a slow, drag-free drift. Fish it solo, as part of a two-fly rig, or under a small dry fly during subtle midge hatches.

When the water is low, the air is cold, and trout are picky, the Micro Midge Olive delivers unmatched finesse. It’s a must-have pattern for any angler targeting pressured fish in the most demanding conditions.
