KF Midge Emerger

The Krystal Flash Midge Emerger is one of the more simple emerger patterns for trout. This midge emerger is really effective despite using only 3 materials. Krystal flash, thread and wire. Tied like a zebra midge, but with an emerging wing. These are one of my favorite midge flies for picky trout in rivers. Its so easy to tie, I can make up 20 of them, and don't mind too much if I loose some due to small tippet.


Hook: Umpqua U202 (or any scud hook size 14-32)
Thread: Ultra thread 70 denier (black, red, cream, olive, and brown are common)
Ribbing: Ultra wire x-small (gold or silver are common)
