Perfect Fly Midge Flies that imitate the Midge Pupa

As with the larva stage of life of the midge, we have found that
three colors closely imitate a great majority of all species of
midges that trout feed on. Cream, light green and red will cover
you in all but some rare, isolated situations. Like the adult and
larva flies, detail in the pupae imitations is still very important
even though the flies are very small. Trout have plenty of time
to examine the emerging pupae while they pick them off with
ease. The peacock herl thorax serves several purposes. It
provides a glitter effect that looks very similar to the air bubbles
that accent the pupae to the surface to hatch. It also imitates
the thorax about to split open with wings very well.
Segmentation of the abdomen part of the fly is provided by the
two different thread weights and types. The trailing shuck
completes the imitation.
