Umpqua Fly Mole Midge Natural is a clever little emerger for fussy trout sipping midges in flat water. The slim peacock quill body hangs just below the surface film, while the wing sits on top and imitates that vulnerable moment of emergence. Fish take it with confidence when standard dries and nymphs are ignored.
Use it on delicate leaders and long tippets when midges are the main food source, especially on clear rivers and stillwaters. Size 18 covers typical midge hatches, while size 22 shines during tiny, dense hatches or pressured fish. Tied by Signature Tyer Charlie Craven, this pattern is both simple and carefully balanced for reliable presentation and hook-up.
