Neon Nightmare
Sometimes less is more, and Matt McCannel’s Neon Nightmare midge is just that! He developed this midge pattern to stand out in the crowds of midges during the winter and spring on his local tailwaters. It has a really thin and sparse profile to imitate the wormlike appearance of midge larvae.
The thin body coating of resin creates a flashy thorax, that simulates the puparium filled with gases that provide buoyancy as the midge ascends to the surface to emerge into an adult. This pattern has fooled finicky tailwater trout all over the west. The Neon Nightmare midge is a fantastic attractor and is quickly becoming one of our go-to flies during the winter months.
