## Description

• Glass Bead Head Mercury Midge: Created by renowned Colorado guide and author Pat Dorsey, this pattern was designed to imitate emerging midge pupae with a realistic gas bubble effect
• Effective Midge Pupa & Emerger Imitation: The clear glass bead mimics the trapped air bubble on rising midge pupae, making it highly effective when trout are feeding on midges in the film or just below the surface
• Premium Glass Bead Construction: Hand-tied with a clear glass bead head, slender thread body, and fine silver ribbing for a realistic, low-riding profile in the surface film
• Excellent for Tailwater & Technical Waters: Performs exceptionally well on tailwaters, spring creeks, and slow rivers where midges are a primary food source year-round; highly effective for brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout
• Must-Have Small Midge Pattern: A reliable choice in sizes 18–24 when trout are selectively feeding on midges; a staple pattern for technical and pressured fisheries
