The Red Disco Midge is especially a good fly in the colder season when midges are the only insect that hatch based upon colder water temperatures. Red midge imitations tend to work well on the rivers that have open water in the winter. Another great thing is the midge is highly visible and effective for aggressive trout in water s were midges make up a large part of their diet. Finally, they are one of the few patterns that do well in slightly dirty water or drifting debris.
