Flash Midge Pupa by Big Y Fly Co.
As the popularity of fly fishing grows, we start seeing more and more pressure on our local rivers. It is the subtleties that make the difference between a great day of fishing and a mediocre one.
The Flash Midge Pupa closely resembles many pupa or larva flies, but the addition of flash on the wings provides a slight advantage in visibility and attraction to fish.

Fished it in a tailwater stream and caught several trout. The flash on the wings made a noticeable difference in how the fly moved through the water. Natural look with just enough flash to stand out without being flashy.
Joanne Morrison –
Used it in a dead drift setup during early morning. Fish reacted well to the subtle movement and the flash helped it catch attention in the current.

Great addition to my fly box. Works well in both still and moving water. The design is realistic and the flash is just enough to trigger strikes.
