This fly represents the midge pupa in it's earliest stage of emergence. It is
deadly fished in the film where trout concentrate their attention during a hatch.

Midges have a tendency to remain in a partially emerged condition. This is
especially true in cooler weather when the tiny insects are most important.

Midge pupae hang vertical in the surface film for a considerable period prior
to emergence. This pattern performs this function while being remarkably easy
to see.

A slender biot body with a sparse collar of CDC makes this delicate
emerger a spring creek favorite.

Sparsely hackled with a biot body and CDC wings, this buoyant and visible
pattern is just the ticket when midge adults are objects of the trout's attention.

Trout are tempted by midge clusters because they can capture several insects in a single rise. Sparse CDC gives enhanced flotation and visibility.
