CDC Midge Pupa by Big Y Fly Co.
Midges are available all year round and in almost every river. An avid fisherman knows you need midges.
This pattern is designed to replicate midges emerging from the water. Fish can be presented in a hopper dropper setup or in the subsurface.
When you see fish slurping, they are feasting on emergers.
These little patterns feature life-like CDC wings, making them irresistible imitators of these annual treats.
CDC does not require treatment with a floatant.

The CDC Midge Pupa looks very realistic with the life-like wings. I’ve used it in both subsurface and hopper dropper setups and seen fish take it consistently. No need for floatant, which is a big plus. Works well in spring and fall when midges are active.

Great imitation of emergers. The wings hold their shape well and the pattern sinks naturally. I noticed fish reacting to it even in slow-moving water. A reliable choice for midge season.

Fished it in a dropper setup during a cold morning. The fish were actively slurping, and the CDC Midge Pupa was taken immediately. No floatant needed — simple and effective.
