A tiny, confidence midge pupa/emerger with a built-in trigger. The Glass Bead Head Mercury Midge (Black) uses a clear “mercury” bead that mimics an emerging gas bubble and a slim black body for sharp contrast—perfect for cold, clear water and selective trout.
- When it excels: Late fall through spring on tailwaters and spring creeks; overcast days; soft seams, slow runs, and pool tails
- Why it works: Glass bead reads like a natural air bubble during emergence; black abdomen gives a clean silhouette while the slender segmentation keeps the profile realistic
- Pack size: 3 flies
- Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
- Ready to fish: Sparse, durable tie with consistent proportions for subtle, drag-free drifts
How to fish it
Dead-drift under an indicator with light tippet or tightline/Euro with steady contact; adjust depth until you tick occasionally. During active midge hatches, run it 12–24" below a small dry (Griffith’s/CDC midge) or suspend it mid-column; finish each drift with a gentle lift to suggest the ascent.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing to prevent hook corrosion.
