Umpqua Graveyard Midge Wood Olive - #18

Graveyard Midge from Umpqua is a smart choice whenever trout key in on tiny chironomids but still need a clear trigger to commit. The open cell foam back and breathers catch light and create a subtle halo, making this small size 18 fly easier for both trout and angler to track in the drift. That exaggerated detail often turns refusals into confident takes, especially over selective fish.

This pattern works on tailwaters, freestone rivers and stillwaters wherever midges are present. Fish it free-drifting in the surface film, as the point fly in a deep nymphing rig or under an indicator. The Black and Olive colour options cover most light and water conditions, from cloudy runs to clear pools.
