Giving a realistic look in the water, the Medallion Midge is an excellent choice whether you're fishing over picky trout in a limestone system or those freshly stocked fish in the middle of fall. No matter where you're fishing, there's a good chance that midges are present, and there's a better chance that the Medallion Midge will help you hook up.

Materials

Step One

Begin the pattern by laying a thread base down.

Step Two

Tie three inches of white UNI-Thread on top of the shank at the thorax. Be sure to leave the rearward-facing material exposed.

Step Three

Run the brown UNI-Thread along the shank to help develop the fly's body.

Step Four

Wrap the white Uni-Thread along the shank with even spacing up to the thorax. Before moving on to the wing section, tie the material, then snip the excess UNI-Thread.

Step Five

Tie on a strand of the Hairline Clearwing material on both sides of the shank, at the thorax. The wings should run perpendicular to one another, forming a V shape.

Step Six

Apply a small amount of Ice Dubbing to the thread, then wrap the dubbing in front of the wingcase several times.

Step Seven

Pull the wings forward and apply a few wraps in front of the bead. Next, pull the wings rearward and secure the material behind the bead.

Step Eight

The Medallion Midge is ready to hit the water after trimming the wings and hitting a whip finish.
