Description
If I could only fish five trout fly patterns for the rest of my life, one decision became obvious very quickly.
One of those flies had to imitate the single most common food source trout see throughout the year.
Not mayflies.
Not caddis.
Midges.
But that raises another question...
If you could only carry one midge pattern as part of your five-fly box, which would you choose?
I'll reveal the pattern I picked—and explain why—in this Thursday's full video on YouTube.
Hooks I use: Risen Fly. Most of the tying materials I use come from J. Stockard. Both have been great to work with and I genuinely recommend checking them out if you tie your own flies.
