Upon reaching the surface of the water, the emerging midge or chironomid pupa tears from the pack of its pupal skin and lifts its wings straight up out of the water. These emerging midges are far from home free, and feeding trout are ready to ruin their day and eat them before they have a chance to fly away. The Mole Fly has been tied to take advantage of these final seconds of the midge hatch and is an excellent fly pattern for targeting trout that are rolling and feeding on midges at the surface.

Mole Fly
Still water fish were rising but not breaking the surface most of the time. Dorsal fins and tails all over the place. A mole fly as a dropper about 10 inches below a caddis and I was catching so many (17) that guys were asking me what I was using because they only had 1 all day. They had never heard of a Mole Fly. I showed them one of mine and even gave it to them to tie copies of at home.
