The Cripple Midge Big Red Barbless Size 12 is a dependable, large red surface-film pattern representing a midge that has failed to emerge cleanly. Its untidy, vulnerable profile combines a recognised midge shape with a strong attractor colour.
Fish it static on a floating line or with tiny draws and long pauses. It is particularly effective for stocked rainbow trout feeding high in the water. One solid take is often enough to make this a trusted favourite.
