Hairdresser Midge Emerger Barbless

The Hairdresser Midge Emerger Barbless is a superb, delicate surface-film pattern for trout and grayling taking midges at the point of emergence.

Fish it singly on a fine tippet, allowing the body to sit in or immediately below the film. On stillwater, cast ahead of a cruising fish and leave the fly almost static. On rivers, protect the drift carefully. Because the pattern uses CDC, use only a desiccant-type CDC powder to dry and treat the feather. Cover a rising fish with confidence and be ready for the water to open beneath the fly.
