Fly Patterns

Midge Emerger

	DESIGNED BY: Randall Kaufmann HOOK: 101 THREAD: Black TAIL: Clear Antron RIB: White thread ABDOMEN: Dark Turkey biot. THORAX: Black Antron dubbing WINGS: Grizzly hen tips
I took the liberty of renaming Randalls "Chironomid Pupa" for this article. Chironomids are only one of many types of midges that this fly perfectly represents in Sierra waters. This is one of my favorite patterns because it has tricked so many of my favorite fish; the golden trout.
