Umpqua Graveyard Midge Wood Black - #18

The Umpqua Fly Graveyard Midge Wood is a smart choice whenever trout key in on chironomids and small midges. Its open-cell foam back and breathers catch light and create a subtle halo, making the fly stand out just enough in the drift without looking unnatural. That small visual trigger often makes the difference on selective fish in clear water.

This pattern has produced consistently on both tailwaters and freestone rivers, from technical, slow pools to faster riffles. Size 18 in Black or Olive matches a wide range of natural midges and works well all year where midges are present. Fish it free-drifting in the surface film, as part of a deep nymphing rig, or under an indicator when trout feed subsurface on chironomid pupae.
