Disco Midge
Fly Details
Disco Midge
The Disco Midge is a flashy, high-visibility pattern with a small profile - making it an excellent imitation of emerging midges and micro-organisms. Its subtle shimmer draws attention in stained or low-light conditions, while the slender build keeps it realistic. A reliable choice for tailwaters and stillwater alike, especially when fish are keyed in on tiny subsurface food.

Presentation
This is an effective pattern year-round, especially in a Nymph Rig fished near the bottom. It's typically used as a dropper behind a larger lead fly, where its slim profile and quick sink rate help reach feeding trout in deeper runs and slower pools.
Fished in tandem with a highly visible dry fly acting as an indicator, this setup allows the nymph to suspend higher in the water column - perfect for targeting trout feeding just below the surface on emerging insects or drifting nymphs.
