Overview
This ultra-visible midge pattern uses Glo Brite fluorescent floss for the body, offering both contrast and pop in low-light or stained water. Often finished with a fine wire rib and a small silver or glass bead, it's tied on curved midge hooks in small sizes. A great option for winter tailwaters or as a dropper in technical dry-dropper setups.
