Brown Crippled Midge

The Brown Crippled Midge is a realistic imitation of a midge struggling in the surface film, a stage that trout often target with confidence. The low-profile, delicate design sits just in and on the surface, closely matching the appearance of emerging or trapped midges.

Tied with a slender brown body to represent the natural insect, and a subtle post or hackle element to aid visibility while maintaining a realistic footprint on the water.

A highly effective pattern on small waters, stocked venues, rivers, and wild brown trout fishing, particularly during midge hatches or when fish are feeding selectively on small naturals.

This fly is part of the RJW Essential range, held in stock and ready for immediate dispatch, tied on high-quality materials and strong, reliable barbless hooks.
