Dubbing - Nature Spirit X-Tremely Fine Dubbing Light Cahill Nature's Spirit Fine Natural Dubbing*: Wing bud - Sparkle Emerger Yarn Cream" Even fish like Root Beer, right? Well if not I am sure they love this tiny little tailwater treat. The Root Beer Midge is an excellent imitation for emerging midges in any waterway. The bright Antron-style wing brings 'em in and the D-rib body seals the deal. This is the classic color combination for this pattern but feel free to mix it up. Play around with olive, black, and any other color that works in your system. Tiny Midges are key to a trout's diet in many waterways. Having this imitation in your box will surely find some hungry fish!
