Joanne Marshall –
Used the Manhattan Midge – Red during a winter trip on a cold tailwater stream. The red color stood out well in the low light, and the small size made it effective when larger flies were ignored. Fish took it consistently, especially in early morning and late evening.
Nicola Underwood –
Felt like a natural match for the tiny midges in the stream. The profile is very precise and worked well in slow-moving water. A good choice for winter trout fishing.
Angela Pullman –
This fly performed well in icy conditions. The red color was visible even in dim light, and trout showed interest immediately. Highly recommended for winter tailwater fishing.
