Split Foam Back™ Midges
Description
Split Foam Backs™
The Split Foam Back™ is an exceptionally effective technical midge pattern designed to imitate emerging midges and small aquatic insects with incredible realism and balance. Featuring a distinctive split foam wing case profile, this pattern rides naturally in the water and creates a highly convincing presentation trout find difficult to resist.
With outstanding detail for such small flies, the Split Foam Back™ has become one of our most productive midge patterns for tailwaters, spring creeks, freestone rivers, lakes, and other technical trout fisheries. Whether fished deep beneath an indicator or suspended near the surface film, this versatile pattern consistently produces strikes from selective trout.
Available in multiple proven color variations to match changing hatch conditions and water types throughout the season.
