http://www.taneycomotrout.com 417-294-0759 fly fishing guide Jeremy Hunt provides a short video clip on how midge larvae actually look like underwater. All I can say is "WOW". This river is first and foremost a midge fishery. Midges are in the mosquito family and look exactly like one. The only difference is they don't bite. Midges have three stages in a life cycle. The first one is the larvae/pupa stage, During this stage, they stay on the bottom or in the middle of the water column. As they start the second stage they are called emergers. And the last stage is the adult. Most insects go through these stages if they hatch from a body of water. Stoneflies skip the second stage and don't emerge. Instead they crawl to the bank and find somewhere to start the adult stage. They can also live up to three years as a nymph. So there are a few exceptions when it comes to the stages of an insect. But with midges trout see these all day and everyday. I will explain a little bit on why you should first learn how to fish midges before anything else you learn. Also, there are different presentations to learn when fishing these different stages. The most important reason you should learn how to fish these first is that midges are in every body of water. There are two types of midges and it all has to do with what body of water they come from. In lakes they can get up to a size 2 which are called chironomids. In tailwaters or rivers they're called midges. There are more midges in a trout's belly than any other food. Trout feed on these the most because they see midges the most. If you learn how to fish midges first, you will be able to catch trout anywhere you go. Midge patterns are patterns that I like to say, search out fish. If you go to a new river and wonder what to throw, start with a midge emerger or larvae pattern. Midges will always work and if you know how to fish these in every stage you will frequently be rewarded with trout. The most important stages to learn how to fish are the subsurface forms of the insect. The best larvae or pupa patterns are beadheaded, thread-bodied flies with wire ribbing to copy segmentations (Zebra Midge). A great emerger pattern would imitate a midge coming up from the bottom to the surface. Soft Hackles are some of the best patterns to imitate this stage. The best colors for these rivers around here would be black first, then everything else. I guess that tells you black is the first one to try. These are the only two stages I would really fish. Adults stages for these just aren't necessary and you will find yourself frustrated with trying to get them to hit dry flies in midge sizes. They prefer the easiest stage to eat which is the subsurface stage. As they start to dry their wings to become adults it takes thirty seconds to dry their wings before they can fly off. That's when trout take them. Right under the surface. If you ever wondered why you see rings forming on the water, it's trout picking midges off right under the film. So when it comes to what they see the most of on the food chain it's definitely midges. So what should you fish first at Taneycomo?
