3D Epoxy Bloodworm

Buried in the mud and silt of trout lakes and rivers across the continent are an army of midge and chironomid larva.  In order to survive in these low oxygen conditions, many of these midges produce more oxygen-carrying hemoglobin protein, which infuses the larva and pupa with a bright red color.  With the science explained, the 3D Epoxy Bloodworm pattern is a nearly spot on imitation of many of our burrowing midge larva.  Its bright red body and contrasting silver/white rib and buzzer make this little firecracker of a fly a true killer!
