With all the sunshine we’ve been getting, the weather has been excellent for getting outside and casting a line. We know that bright clear days can be a bit frustrating, so here’s the Sunshine Midge tied by Steve Cullen. A simple yet highly effective buzzer pattern, perfect for stillwaters on a bright day. The Flexi Floss makes for a subtle segmented look, while the goose biots and Uni Collar on the exaggerated head give it a fish-tempting spot of colour.
It’ll fish well year-round but Steve says this is his favourite for sunny days when fish are sitting a bit deeper being more selective and looking for something subtle and shiny in the water column.
The Sunshine Midge mimics a small chironomid (buzzer) and uses light-reflective materials to catch the attention of feeding Trout. Get a few of these ready for the sunshine and get catching!
All materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we’ll be happy to help.
