There is, has and always will be something to be said about dry fly fishing. It’s the purest form of catching trout by the fly and an art in it’s own right.
However, I look forward to this time of year when the midge is king. To fish with a midge you have to tune in and tune out all other distractions focusing only on the strike, which will be subtle. It can be as technical and as challenging as you make it and very rewarding to those who can read water.
To me midge fishing in size 18-22 is almost spiritual. If you have confidence in your fly, cast and location midge fishing becomes tangled in meditation, emptying your mind of all but one thought. The strike.
