# **How to Choose Quill Midge Larva, Black – 6 pcs. Size 16**
Fishing success often hinges on selecting the right fly, and when it comes to midge larvae patterns, the **Quill Midge Larva (Black, Size 16)** is a must-have in any angler’s arsenal. Whether you’re targeting trout in clear streams or stillwaters, this subtle yet effective pattern mimics one of the most abundant food sources in freshwater ecosystems.
In this guide, we’ll break down why the **KyleBooker Quill Midge Larva** stands out, how to choose the best size and color, and key tips for fishing it effectively.
## **Why the Quill Midge Larva?**
Midge larvae are a staple in a trout’s diet year-round, especially in colder months when other insects are less active. The **Quill Midge Larva** imitates these tiny, worm-like creatures with remarkable realism, thanks to its:
– **Slim Profile & Natural Movement** – The quill body provides a segmented look, while the soft materials allow lifelike undulation in the water.
– **Neutral Buoyancy** – Unlike flashier patterns, this fly sinks slowly, staying in the strike zone longer.
– **Versatility** – Effective in both still waters and moving currents, making it ideal for nymphing or under an indicator.
## **Choosing the Right Size & Color**
### **1. Size Matters: Why Size 16?**
Midge larvae are tiny, typically ranging from **size 18 to 14**. The **KyleBooker Quill Midge Larva in size 16** strikes a perfect balance—small enough to match natural midges but large enough to be easily tied and seen by fish.
– **Smaller sizes (18-20)** excel in ultra-clear water or highly pressured fish.
– **Larger sizes (14-16)** work well in stained water or when fish are aggressively feeding.
For most situations, **size 16** is the best all-around choice.
### **2. Why Black?**
Black is a **universally effective color** for midge larvae because:
– It mimics the natural dark hue of many midge species.
– It provides high visibility against light-colored streambeds.
– It works in both bright and low-light conditions.
If fish seem hesitant, try switching to **red or olive** variations, but black remains the most reliable.
## **Fishing Techniques for the Quill Midge Larva**
### **1. Euro Nymphing (Tight-Line Fishing)**
– Use a **light tippet (5X-6X)** and a **weighted fly (or split shot)** to get the Quill Midge Larva down quickly.
– Dead-drift it near the bottom, where midge larvae naturally drift.
### **2. Indicator Fishing (Still Waters & Slow Pools)**
– Suspend the fly **12-24 inches below a strike indicator**.
– Allow slight twitches to imitate natural movement.
### **3. Dropper Rig (Combination Setup)**
– Pair the Quill Midge Larva with a **brighter attractor fly** (e.g., a red San Juan Worm) to increase strikes.
