"This fly identifies with the two brightest 'blood worm' stages of the chironomids life cycle in deep water above a muddy bottom.
They can stay in this location in giant balls for up to three days. The color can vary depending on the hemoglobin usage, which makes the larva are red or green.
The newest feature to the Trident Tube Midge is without question the wing and leg shuck sprouting out from below the thorax.
This wing case is often orange in color and I think becomes a great attracting component for trout.
I am huge fan of capturing the trouts attention in stillwater and rivers inlets so why not make the most of this bright identifying mark?
I use them in still waters and river inlets all year, searching deep water in hopes that large trout are feeding. “
