There is nothing like a good midge. So many colors and variations will work and they are not only for the winter season. They are simple to tie and use a limited number of materials. Take a size 18 or 20 wide gap scud hook with a body of thread, a rib of mylar, mono or fine wire and then choose a wing casing or bead and a bit of dubbing. Try black thread, silver wire and a silver bead. It's called the Zebra. Be creative as there are so many different Chironomids that it would be hard to be wrong.
I love fly fishing. I am a Fly Fishers International Certified Single & Two Hand Casting Instructor with sixty years experience in fly fishing, casting and fly tying to share. Please feel free to send me an e-mail and I will tell you what I know. My areas of knowledge are in fly fishing and fly tying for North Eastern trout, Landlocked salmon and the experience of over forty rivers world wide fly casting to Atlantic Salmon.
