Small Black Midge

Clear-water midge

Marble troutFilm

A tiny dry for fussy marble trout sipping very small food from flat calm surfaces — the last resort when larger patterns are refused on gin-clear pools.

Fish this when

Tiny rise forms, flat calm pools, clear low water. Highly pressured fish that have seen every larger pattern.

Why it works

Marble trout in low-water summer conditions can be as selective as the most pressured chalk-stream brown trout. When the rise forms are tiny, match them.
