Microdry Series - No See Um Hot Post

Product detailed description

Microdry Series - No See Um Hot Post. Special micro dry fly patterns in natural insect colours, with genetic dry fly hackle on top. Works great on wary grayling and trout.

Baetis is a genus of small aquatic insects in the order Ephemeroptera, commonly known as the "blue-winged olive." Baetis nymphs are an important food source for fish, and Baetis mayflies are well-known to fly fishermen as one of the most important hatches in many streams and rivers around the world. The nymphs of Baetis species are typically found in slow to moderately fast-moving water, and they feed on algae and other small aquatic plants. When they are fully grown, they emerge from the water as winged adults, which fly to nearby vegetation to mate and lay eggs before dying. Baetis mayflies are often used as a model organism in aquatic ecology research because they are relatively easy to study and are an important part of many freshwater ecosystems.

The Microdry Series No See Um Hot Post is an ultra-small dry fly designed to imitate tiny midges and no-see-um insects. Its dark olive body, light dun hackle, and bright orange post provide a natural profile with enhanced visibility for precise surface fishing.

Key Features

• Ultra-light microdry design for delicate surface presentation
• Dark olive body imitates small midges and aquatic insects
• Light dun hackle provides floatation and subtle movement
• Orange hot post improves visibility and acts as a strike trigger
• Minimal profile for selective trout or grayling in clear and calm water

Use Cases

• Dry fly fishing on rivers, streams, and stillwaters
• Targeting selective trout feeding on tiny surface insects
• Effective in calm water, low light, and technical conditions

Technical Specifications

• Type: micro dry fly
• Material: synthetic thread, hackle fibers
• Color: dark olive body with light dun hackle and orange post
• Sizes: micro (typically #18–#24)
• Buoyancy: natural (no floatant required or minimal use recommended)

Alternative Names / Synonyms
no-see-um dry fly, midge hot post fly, olive micro dry, small trout dry fly, surface midge imitation

What Makes It Different
The combination of a subtle dark olive body with a light dun hackle and a bright orange post provides a realistic micro profile with improved visibility and a strike trigger, making it highly effective for selective trout feeding on tiny surface insects.
