Becks Black Midge Barbless in size 16 is a delicate dry fly for trout and grayling taking small dark midges at the surface. It offers a finer, more specific profile than a large terrestrial pattern, making it useful during calm conditions and selective rise forms on rivers or stillwaters.
Fish it on a fine, well-degreased tippet and aim for a natural drift through the fish's feeding lane. On stillwater, target individual rises and avoid unnecessary movement. On rivers, use a reach cast to reduce drag. The size 16 barbless hook suits small midge activity while remaining manageable to see and present.
