We might be the only fly shop to tell you this, but you do not in fact need to buy a separate midge pattern to match each of the almost 17,000 species you will find on our North American waters! With a few key fly patterns in a couple sizes and colors, you can effectively match most midge species, and the Matt's Midge is one such multipurpose pattern. The wings of this pattern, as they lay across the back, are a nearly spot-on imitation of the adult midge as it returns to the water to lay its eggs.
