Midge Larva makes up a large percentage the diet of many different species.  This is, of course, a great fly for stream trout.  I have fooled many sizable Browns by trailing this pattern behind a larger nymph.  It is an excellent White Sucker pattern, perhaps the best, and will produce fine catches when dead-drifted through a pod of suckers in a deep, slow run.  This is also one pattern that I use for ice-fishing.  Panfish, trout and Ciscos really eat it up.  Stomach contents from Ciscos I have caught from deep mid-lake mud flats show large amounts of midge larva, so now I always show them this fly under a dropper spoon.
