Bucky's Midge Cluster (12 Flies)

The ultimate calorie-kicker for picky surface feeders.

When trout are nose-up in the slow water sipping on tiny midges, fishing a single size 22 adult can be an exercise in frustration. Enter Bucky's Midge Cluster. This brilliant pattern doesn't just imitate one microscopic bug; it imitates a mating cluster or a tangled group of midges trapped in the surface film. For a feeding trout, it represents a much higher-calorie meal for the exact same amount of effort, making it a target they actively seek out during complex hatches.

Why we love it:

The Profile: Tied on a curved hook, the grey body and white trailing shuck sit low in the surface film, perfectly mimicking the vulnerable, trapped posture of struggling insects.

The Visibility: A heavy wrap of mixed grizzly and white hackle provides excellent buoyancy and gives you a bright, visible target to track, even on glare-heavy water or on overcast winter days.

The Efficiency: It allows you to fish a larger, more manageable hook size while still perfectly matching a micro-hatch scenario.

Quantity: Sold in packs of 12.

Guide Tip: Midges naturally get pushed together by the current. Focus your casts on the slow seams, back eddies, and bubble lines where foam gathers on the surface. If you see trout rhythmically sipping in those slicks, a dead-drifted Midge Cluster is almost a guaranteed eat. It is an absolute lifesaver for early spring and late fall fishing.
