Fishing tiny midge patterns can be challenging, especially when trying to follow a small fly through a complicated drift. This pattern is designed to be easier for the angler to see while maintaining a presentation that appeals to trout feeding on adult midges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe design also provides better hook exposure than a traditional Griffith’s Gnat, helping improve hooking opportunities when trout take the fly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Fish It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFish Ken’s Hammer Midge as a dry fly when trout are feeding on adult midges at or near the surface.
