The Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout in still or slow-moving waters. This fly mimics the delicate appearance of midges, a staple in a trout's diet, making it highly effective. Its design features a slender body, often crafted from fine thread, and a hackle that provides buoyancy and a lifelike presentation on the water's surface.
Originating in the UK, this fly has been a favourite among fly fishers for decades due to its simplicity and success rate. The Knotted Midge is particularly effective during midge hatches, enticing even the most selective trout. Its versatility and proven track record make it a must-have in any angler's fly box..

Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is best used in calm, clear waters where trout are feeding on the surface. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly delicately by casting upstream and allowing it to drift naturally with the current. Use a light tippet to avoid spooking the fish.
Employ a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly moves at the same pace as the water. If no strikes occur, try a subtle twitch to mimic a struggling insect. This can entice a hesitant trout to strike. Adjust your position to avoid drag and maintain a natural presentation.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late autumn to early spring when midge hatches are prevalent. These flies excel in cooler months, particularly from October to April, when trout are more reliant on midges due to the scarcity of other insects.
During overcast days or in the early morning and late afternoon, when midge activity peaks, this fly can be particularly successful. Look for calm water conditions, as the delicate presentation of the Knotted Midge is best appreciated by trout in still or slow-moving waters.

How does the Turrall Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Knotted Midge Dry Hackled Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of the midge, a small two-winged insect prevalent in freshwater environments. During the emergence stage, midges transition from pupae to adults, often resting on the water's surface as they dry their wings. This makes them highly vulnerable and an easy target for trout. The fly's hackled design replicates the delicate legs and wings of the midge, creating a lifelike silhouette that floats enticingly. Trout are drawn to this stage due to the abundance and ease of capture, making it a crucial part of their diet.
