Sicario Midge Pupa
A versatile midge pupa pattern we fish religiously in the colder months. It's a fantastic subsurface and emerger for a variety of water types.
Fly Pattern & Fishing Details
The Sicario Midge is a great cold weather pattern we fish on all types of waters—from tailwaters to freestones, spring creeks and everything in between. These little winter midges fish well under an indicator rig as a point fly or dusted up with High & Dry behind a lead adult midge. We fish these a lot in colder months but this isn't specifically a winter pattern. It's productive and versatile any time of the year.
