*Here is a simple midge pattern that only takes a minute or two to tie.
*

  • Daiichi 1130 size 18- ribbing silver wire- Body scud backing- white plastic bead- coated with Sally hard nail
    Used this as a dropper off of a elk hair caddis. Small wild brookies & browns really like it.

*Hay there MacFly for sure I am hardy fastidious when it comes to tying flies, so if it looks similar to the intended pattern then I’m okay with the results. After all it is not my fellow fisherman or myself that needs to be impressed but those little characters lurking in the depth. Here fishy, fishy. lol
