Background information:
The midge is the most prolific of all insects and can be found all the year round, wherever there is water, especially on reservoirs. Therefore it is the goto fly for most boat anglers and is usually fished as one of a team of three flies. Other colours can be used including green and red depending on the species hatching at the time of fishing.
