    nymph80%

    Zebra Midge

    #18#20#22#24

    Midges are a primary and consistent food source year-round in freestone rivers like the Logan, providing subsurface feeding opportunities in cooler fall water.

    nymph80%

    Zebra Midge

    #18#20#22#24

    Midges are the most prolific and consistent food source in the Logan River during February. Black or red patterns in small sizes are essential.
