Glassy Micro Pupa
The Glassy Micro Pupa is a small subsurface pattern we like to fish throughout the year. It's great as a dropper under a larger dry or dead drifted under an indicator.
Fly Pattern & Fishing Details
The Glassy Micro Pupa is one of those smaller patterns we like to fish in a variety of situations. It's great as a dropper, as part of a nymph rig, or trailed unweighted off of another smaller dry pattern. We use these interchangeably with Zebra Midges and Shop Vac style patterns. These are great searching patterns on slower days when not much is happening on the surface.
