The larva stage of life of the midge is eaten by trout to a huge extent in many cases. In others, it is rarely eaten. It depends of the species of midge and type of water. We have found these three colors; cream, light green and red, imitate most all of the species of midges that are available for trout to eat. This fly has a lot of detail to it. It uses a flashabou type ribbing to imitate the segmentation and either marabou or ice dubbing for the thorax.
