**How to Choose Midges Black BH Red Body #20, 18, 16 (A Must-Have in Your Arsenal!)**

As an avid angler, you know that success on the water often comes down to the details—especially when it comes to fly selection. Among the most effective and versatile patterns for trout and other selective fish are **Midges Black BH Red Body** in sizes #20, #18, and #16. These tiny yet powerful flies mimic midge pupae, a staple in a trout’s diet year-round. Whether you’re fishing slow-moving spring creeks or tailwaters, having these in your box is non-negotiable. Here’s how to choose the right size and use them effectively.

### **Why Midges Black BH Red Body?**
Midges are one of the most abundant aquatic insects, thriving in nearly all freshwater environments. The **Black BH (Bead Head) Red Body** pattern excels because:
– **Realistic Profile**: The black thread body with a subtle red ribbing mimics the segmentation of midge pupae, while the bead head adds weight for depth control and imitates the air bubble of emerging insects.
– **Versatility**: Effective in both still and moving water, these flies work in winter, spring, and even during summer hatches when trout key in on small prey.
– **Sizes Matter**: #20 is ideal for ultra-selective fish, #18 for general midge imitations, and #16 for faster water or larger trout feeding aggressively.

### **Choosing the Right Size**
1. **#20**: Use this when fish are pressured or feeding on tiny midges in clear, slow water. Perfect for technical situations where a delicate presentation is key.
2. **#18**: The “Goldilocks” size—not too big, not too small. Great for prospecting in riffles or when you spot subtle rises.
3. **#16**: Best for stained water, windy conditions, or when targeting larger trout that want a more substantial meal. The extra bulk helps visibility.

### **Rigging Tips**
– **Euro-Nymphing**: Pair a #18 or #20 with a lighter fly (e.g., a #22 midge larva) as a dropper for a deadly two-fly setup.
– **Indicator Fishing**: In deeper pools, use the #16 with a small strike indicator and adjust depth until you find the zone.
– **Color Variations**: While the red ribbing is a trigger, consider adding a UV resin coat for extra flash in low light.

### **Pro Tip: Carry All Three Sizes**
Trout can be notoriously picky. Having #20, #18, and #16 ensures you’re ready to match the hatch—whether it’s a sparse winter emergence or a summer midge swarm. Stock up by the dozen (they’re small and easy to lose!) and organize them in a dedicated midge box for quick access.
