Midges and Chironomids

Midges and Chironomids

Midges (order Diptera) are among the most important year‑round food sources for trout. Search results highlight that midges include many tiny fly families, but the ones trout eat most are the non‑biting Chironomidae — small, mosquito‑like insects whose aquatic larvae (“bloodworms”) are abundant in lakes, rivers, and tailwaters
