Guideline Antonio’s Quill Midge Flies HI VIS

Split wing style emerger from Umpqua signature tier Antonio Rodrigues, this pattern uses a Hi-Vis spot to help us anglers to see it in tough light conditions when using these small flies. Flies like this with a part of the body stucked in the surface/hanging under is a very good trigger for the fish. This signalize vulnerability and an easy prey for the trout. This pattern can imitate midges and several types of smaller mayflies, a typical fly for flat water and picky fish!

We recommend using CDC friendly floatant like High’n Dry Liquid Floatant and Gel on the wings and thorax. Tiemco Dry Magic and CDC Gel/Oil are also great options. These are floatants you add before your first cast. After fishing or if the fly gets soaked and sinks, then use an Amadou drier or rubberband to cast off water. Then revitalize the thorax and wing with a power brush.
