Umpqua Fly Menthol Midge Winkler Rusty Brown
SKU: NFD9906

Size 12

“The defining features of many chironomid patterns are the oversized white bead and an abdomen that is unrealistically bulky. In my experience fish in pressured lakes have become wary of the white bead and unnatural proportions.

The Menthol Midge has a sleek, technical appearance that is tied with realistic proportions to fool very selective fish.

Best fished under an indictor and tied on with a loop knot to impart as much movement into the fly as possible.

Tied on the 2x heavy wire Umpqua XT250, it’s ready to-do battle with the largest stillwater Rainbows and Brown Trout and has proven itself on the world renowned Pyramid Lake.”
