Top Secret Midge
- Sizes
- #18

- midge pupae · emerging midges
The Top Secret Midge features a thread body with a pearl Flashabou wing case at the thorax, adding a subtle flash that mimics the gas bubble of an emerging midge pupa. It is slightly more complex than the Zebra Midge but significantly more effective on pressured tailwater trout that have seen every simple midge pattern.
