When it comes to the most potent and lethal midge patterns, oftentimes “less is more” and that is certainly the case with the Tailwater Assassin midge emerger! Thin as a blade, this thread midge is crowned with a small emergent wing and a couple of strands of flashabou to help catch the trout’s eye. While effective on both lakes and rivers, this pattern is particularly effective when targeting wary, heavily pressured tailwater trout!
