| As with the larva stage of life of the midge, we have found that three colors closely imitate a great majority of all species of midges that trout feed on. Cream, light green and red will cover you in all but some rare, isolated situations. Like the adult and larva flies, detail in the pupae imitations is still very important even though the flies are very small. Trout have plenty of time to examine the emerging pupae while they pick them off with ease. The peacock herl thorax serves several purposes. It provides a glitter effect that looks very similar to the air bubbles that accent the pupae to the surface to hatch. It also imitates the thorax about to split open with wings very well. Segmentation of the abdomen part of the fly is provided by the two different thread weights and types. The trailing shuck completes the imitation. |

Pre-rigged Tandem Midge Larva & Pupa -
Tippet
Tippet
One each, Midge larva and pupa (of the same color) are pre-rigged on spools, so you
can easily remove them and tie them on to your leader without any mess or fuss. The
tag end of the tippet is marked with a small piece of plastic tape. The bottom fly is also
taped to the inside of the spool so it doesn't get fouled up. Size 20 midges are
pre-rigged on your choice of size 5X nylon or fluorocarbon tippet. Size 22 midges are
pre-rigged on your choice of size 6X nylon or fluorocarbon tippet. The larva is always
the bottom fly and the pupa fly is placed approximately 16 inches above the larva fly.
There is approximately 2 1/2 feet of tippet above the top pupa fly to attach to your
leader.

Do you have trouble seeing and tying on small
midge flies size 20 and 22, especially with the larva
and pupa in tandem? That is the preferred rigging
for midges. During a hatch, the Midge larvae are on
the bottom and the pupa in the water column
accenting to the surface. Tying this tandem rig gives
some anglers trouble, especially in the field with
poor lighting conditions. Why not let Perfect Fly do it
for you? See the details below.
