Midge Dry Fishing Fly Patterns

These patterns imitate the adult phase of the Midge flies. The Midge has a complete life cycle, which means that it goes through an egg phase, a larva phase, a pupa phase and an adult phase.

These flies are found throughout the world and are a known as an ecological indicator, because they cannot tolerate the least bit of pollution in the water.

The Midge is also sometimes called a Chironomid and some species look just like a Mosquito.

The Midge adult will be seen on moving water during the day as it emerges from the Pupa phase of its life cycle. The Midge will also be seen throughout the year as long as there is no ice on the water.

The Midge adult will mate in the air, on land or on the water. The females will then return to the water to lay their eggs on the surface or crawl under the water and attach the eggs to any available underwater structure. Most of the females will then be swept away in the current and quite often become a snack for some opportunistic trout.

The Midge can be found on any body of freshwater. Try enticing a fish using one of the many Midge imitation flies.
