MIDGES
These insects belong to the order Diptera and have a full life cycle, like the Caddis. They are the tiniest of the insects and inhabit streams, lakes, and ponds all over the world. The most common colors are red, black, creme, tan, and olive. If you are interested in Dry Fly action in winter, Midges are the bug of choice.

CADDIS
The Caddis, from the order Diptera, has a full life cycle from egg to adult. They greatly out number Mayflies and Stone Flies combined. Caddis tend to begin hatching at the first hint of spring, sometimes as early as February or March, depending on the temps. Brachycentrus, The Grannom Caddis, is usually one of the first to arrive on the scene. Dicosmoecus, the October Caddis, or Great October Sedge is one of the last to go before the cooler temps of winter return.
