Barrio Midge Tip Fly Lines
The Barrio Midge Tip can be a really useful addition to all your river, loch and stillwater fishing.
This well balanced, sweet casting line is based on our Troutstream tapers, the 3ft long sink tip section adding another dimension to the control and versatility of this line.
Very popular for nymph and buzzer fishing on lochs and stillwaters, for straight line tactics, washing line style, sink and draw retrieves, and for much better control in windy conditions, 'biting in' to the surface rather than being swept away.
The Midge Tip can be useful for swinging wets and nymphs on running water too, helping to avoid your flies skating on the surface without compromising line management and being able to mend your line across the currents as required.
Line profile: individually customised, with each line size refined for presentation in that weight. ( plus compound tapers within these main tapers )

I bought a midge tip line from Mike last week. I asked for advice as to which one for my Orvis Rod and he pointed me in the right direction.
Used it last Thursday and what a difference.
I'll definately buy more lines from him when needed.

Fantastic line for night time Sea Trout fishing, particularly on small, wooded rivers.
Mike's service and delivery I would also rate as 5 stars.

I’ve recently bought a 7 weight Midge Tip from Mike. I’ve only cast it in the field to date, but it’s a very smooth supple line that casts very nicely.
Most impressed, plus the delivery was unbelievably quick, cheers.
