Description
Midge Black with Red Butt Tungsten is a minimalist cold-water fly designed to fool the pickiest trout in clear, slow, and technical conditions. Tied with a slim black thread body, fine ribbing, and a vivid red hot-spot at the butt, this fly delivers contrast and realism in one precise, tactical package.
The subtle red butt mimics the hemoglobin-rich abdomen of emerging midges and acts as a strike-triggering target, especially effective in winter and early spring when trout feed heavily on midges just below the surface. The tungsten bead ensures fast sink rate, making this pattern ideal for deep tailouts, soft seams, and micro-pocket water.
Fished solo or as a dropper beneath a dry or larger anchor fly, this midge excels in tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestone systems where natural presentation is key. The compact design and barbless jig hook reduce drag, improve drift, and increase hook-up ratios.
Whether drifting over silt flats or bouncing through winter eddies, the Midge Black with Red Butt Tungsten consistently fools wary trout when other patterns fail. It’s a confidence fly for technical water, cold days, and subtle feeders.
