Craven's Jujubee Midge

The Jujubee Midge is a proven pattern born from two decades of guiding on Colorado's South Platte River. Developed to outsmart ultra-selective trout in Cheesman Canyon, this midge combines SuperHair's durability and ease of use with a simple, effective design. The fly features a segmented body with contrasting ribs, tying together white and black thread for a realistic larva and pupa imitation. SuperHair material is inexpensive, forgiving, and holds up through multiple fish—making it ideal for tying in bulk. Particularly deadly in winter and spring, the Jujubee has saved countless mid-summer trips when other patterns fall short. Whether you're a beginner or experienced tyer, this pattern is straightforward to tie and essential to have in your box. Midge larvae and pupae are always on the menu for selective trout, making the Jujubee a reliable starting point for any day on the water.
