Quill Midge Pupa

Fly: Troy Allgood, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Standard dry fly
Thread: Black 6/0
Abdomen: Stripped peacock quill
Thorax: Muskrat

Note: A very simple but effective midge pupae. I like to fish this pattern with the entire leader greased with floatant to about 2 inches from the fly. I cast the fly ahead of a feeding fish and watch the track of the leader for an indication of a take.
