- Fishing Techniques.
The No Wonder Foam Pale Morning Dun Midge is best used in calm, clear waters where trout are feeding on the surface. To maximise effectiveness, employ a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to float naturally with the current. This mimics the natural emergence of midges, enticing trout to strike.
For retrieves, use a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve to simulate a struggling midge, which can provoke a reaction from nearby fish. Tactics include targeting areas with visible rises or near structures where trout are likely to be holding. Adjust your leader length to ensure a delicate presentation, avoiding spooking the fish.
Key Seasons - when is this

most effective?
The No Wonder Foam Pale Morning Dun Midge is most effective during late spring to early summer, particularly from May to July. This period coincides with the Pale Morning Dun hatch, a crucial time for trout feeding. During these months, the fly mimics the emerging duns, making it irresistible to trout.
Ideal conditions include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these promote active hatches. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times, as trout are more likely to rise. Use this fly in slow-moving waters or still pools where midges are prevalent, ensuring a successful catch.

The No Wonder Foam Pale Morning Dun Midge is designed to mimic the Pale Morning Dun mayfly during its emergence stage. This fly represents the transitional phase when the nymph rises to the water's surface and transforms into a dun, a critical moment in the mayfly's lifecycle. Fish, particularly trout, target this stage as the emerging insects are vulnerable and abundant, making them an easy and nutritious meal. The foam body of the fly ensures buoyancy, while its delicate wings and subtle colouring closely resemble the natural mayfly, enticing fish to strike.
