The difference in comparison to the smaller Tube Midge, in addition to sizes ranging from #12\/14\/16 on a Tiemco 2302 hooks, is the two color wraps of small wire inserted into clear Micro Tubing and three wraps of two wires colors at the bend of the hook to secure. This allows the it to appear like it is in a clear case while the body of the fly possess a slim profile. Unlike others on the market the white in this tie is not the bead, it is in the white ostrich wrapped three times around the thorax and secured by white 8\/0 uni thread with a single wrap of tinsel behind for a hint of flash. This allows the imitation to breath like the gills on a natural while attracting cruising giants to the fly. Lastly, the bead in still water meals are larger than their river counterparts and, like the trout that eat them, are also on the move. When I set up a rig I always keep that bit of information in mind. One of my favorite ways to maximize movement to a fly is using a non–slip mono loop knot. This will imitate natural movement and encourage the fish to react and strike if they see it moving while they are on the prowl. I addition to movement I believe in removing anything unnatural from my rig to prevent making the target wary. This is why the tungsten bead works well, because it is a lot of weight in a small package. Lastly, a big question I receive during still water trips is if I prefer two or three fly rig and the answer is yes to both. In shallow water I will typically use two flies to prevent snags and have a better chance of landing trout that go into the weeds. In deep water I prefer to cover more water columns with three flies to see what depth the trout are feeding at.\" ~Umpqua Signature Tyer Landon Mayer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Red \/ 16","offer_id":43892741439766,"sku":"71150","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Red \/ 14","offer_id":43892741472534,"sku":"71149","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Red \/ 12","offer_id":43892741505302,"sku":"71148","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ 16","offer_id":43892741538070,"sku":"71153","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ 14","offer_id":43892741570838,"sku":"71152","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ 12","offer_id":43892741603606,"sku":"71151","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/products\/mayers-titan-tube-midge-1671388.jpg?v=1757523479"},{"product_id":"frenchie-chironomid","title":"Frenchie Chironomid","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Pheasant tail fibers are one of those natural materials that seem to have magic fish attractant built in.

With our run–off the last few years, stillwater fishing has come on strong and having a pattern that isn't the same as everyone else's made sense. Typically, the Jumbo Juju is fished under an indicator, hanging anywhere from 1–20 feet down, usually in tandem with at least one other fly, be it another Jumbo Juju in another color or a callibaetis nymph or other still water bug. Fishing on the \"hang\" like this can get boring if you're not catching a fish every few minutes, so in that case I will sometimes resort to a S–L–O–W hand twist retrieve to keep me busy. The JJJ is better and different than other Chiros in that it is much more durable (epoxy coated), has much better segmentation and has the slightest bit of flash to it. Most chiros are simple thread and wire patterns, leaving little room for expansion beyond a single basic color and a contrasting rib. The JJJ has multi–hued ribbing over a bright white underbody and a top coat of epoxy that all combine to add to the sheen and division between the colors. The epoxy coat also contributes to the gaseous bubble effect of an emerging chiro. -Words and Fly by Signature Tyer Charlie Craven\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Blood \/ 12","offer_id":43892781777174,"sku":"17535","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blood \/ 14","offer_id":43892781809942,"sku":"17536","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blood \/ 16","offer_id":43892781842710,"sku":"17537","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zebra \/ 16","offer_id":43892781875478,"sku":"17543","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zebra \/ 14","offer_id":43892781908246,"sku":"17542","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Zebra \/ 12","offer_id":43892781941014,"sku":"17541","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/products\/jumbo-juju-chironomid-9407421.png?v=1757523265"},{"product_id":"rowleys-chromie","title":"Rowley's Chromie","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you need some extra flash in dirty or stained water, this chironomid has you covered!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Montana Fly","offers":[{"title":"#10","offer_id":43892816412950,"sku":"08-1055-10","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#12","offer_id":43892816445718,"sku":"08-1055-12","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#14","offer_id":43892816478486,"sku":"08-1055-14","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/files\/rowleys-chromie-2749618.png?v=1757523152"},{"product_id":"black-red-neck-nugget","title":"Black Red Neck Nugget","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA silver bead headed buzzer with a red collar that's equally effective as a single fly on a small stillwater or as part of a team when fishing larger bodies of water.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Fulling Mill","offers":[{"title":"#12","offer_id":43892816740630,"sku":"8002812","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#14","offer_id":43892816806166,"sku":"8002814","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/files\/black-red-neck-nugget-4482692.jpg?v=1757523153"},{"product_id":"nugget-olive","title":"Nugget Olive","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA silver bead headed buzzer with a olive collar that's equally effective as a single fly on a small stillwater or as part of a team when fishing larger bodies of water.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Fulling Mill","offers":[{"title":"#12","offer_id":43892817166614,"sku":"8002912","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#14","offer_id":43892817199382,"sku":"8002914","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3804\/2646\/files\/nugget-olive-1681218.jpg?v=1757523152"},{"product_id":"buzzer","title":"Buzzer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA killer chironomid pattern that works super well on stillwaters.
