Try this midge pupa pattern either fished deep under a strike indicator or shallow
under a Griffis gnat and you might be amazed. This pattern is responsible for MANY
big rainbows on the Missouri River.
Hook: Daiichi 1140, size 18
Thread: 8/0 black
Body: taper with black thread from rear of hook to silver bead
Ribbing: small silver wire
Note: While this pattern works well and is super simple to tie, I like to dub the body
using Hareline's Ice Dub in peacock color. Very important: keep the body THIN.
Ignore this fly if you think it's too simple, but this pattern has been a killer with
big, tough fish.
