Umpqua Massacre Midge Mccannel Brown

Umpqua Massacre Midge Mccannel Brown is a clever choice when trout key in on tiny midges and baetis, often at the same time. The slim, segmented body gives just enough realism to fool selective tailwater fish, while the sparse dubbing veil adds subtle movement in the film. A discreet foam head helps the fly ride upright, matching the posture of naturals rather than sitting flat.

In size 18 this pattern also doubles nicely as a caddis emerger, giving extra flexibility from one box slot. Fish it as the upper fly in a nymph rig, suspended in the middle of the water column or just under the surface. As the hatch builds, it shines as a dropper behind a midge or BWO dry. A reliable, no-nonsense emerger for year-round technical fishing.
