In this fly tying tutorial I show you step-by-step how to tie a midge dry fly for picky trout. This simple but super effective midge dry fly pattern is perfect when trout refuse bigger flies and you need something small and realistic.
If you enjoy beginner friendly fly tying and simple midge patterns, this dry fly midge will be a great addition to your box. I walk you through the full process at the vise, so even if you are new to trout fly tying you can follow along.
This midge dry fly works great in clear water and on slow rivers when fish are sipping tiny insects from the surface. Add it next to your other cdc dry flies, midge emergers and trout fishing flies, and you will be ready for those really picky trout. This is a simple midge pattern that is quick to tie but has a surprisingly high catch rate. If you have been searching for an easy midge dry fly pattern for trout, give this one a try on your next trip.
