Midge Xelon Olive

This Midge Xelon Olive pattern is an all season pattern. This Midge Xelon Olive is a general midge pattern and imitates an adult midge. Midges are simply the singular most important aquatic trout food, worldwide. They occur in almost every aquatic habitat, producing large swarms and huge volumes. Fish this pattern on tail waters and slower runs tailing into pools. The longer white wing allows for higher visibility and allows for the longer slower drift.

When fishing any dry fly pattern, matching the color and the size to the hatch are critical, with presentation being the finishing touch to this trinity. Often overlooked is the casting of shadow from your leader, which may lead to spooked fish.   We suggest selecting a high float leader. Additional waterproofing can be given to you fly delaying it becoming waterlogged, by applying a flotant product such as Gink ®. 

All flies are tied with American sourced materials including Hareline Dubbin Materials and Whiting Farm's Hackles & Capes and are tied on premium hooks.
