The "must-have" pattern for winter and technical tailwater fishing.
Midges are often the only food source available year-round, and big trout sip them in the quietest, clearest water. The CDC Midge is designed to fool these educated fish. It features a high-visibility pink post that lets you actually track this tiny fly on the water, while the trailing shuck perfectly imitates a midge stuck in the surface film, the most vulnerable stage of the hatch.
Why we love it:
Visibility: The hot pink post is a game-changer. It allows you to see a size 18 or 20 fly even in glare or foam lines.
The Shuck: The trailing tail mimics the empty casing of the nymph, a key trigger for fish looking for an easy meal that can't fly away.
Soft Landing: The CDC and hackle collar allow it to land like a whisper, preventing you from spooking fish in glass-calm pools.
Quantity: Sold in packs of 12.
Guide Tip: This is a staple for the Bow River in the shoulder seasons. Fish it on a long, fine leader (5x or 6x) to distinct noses. If you see a subtle ring or a "sip" rather than a splash, they are likely eating this.
