This midge works really well on rivers and still waters.
Hook: Mustad Dry R30 #18
Thread:Black 8/0
Dubbing: Hares ear
Hackle: Hackle of your choice.
Wing post: Polypropylene floating yarn.
This fly can be tied with almost anything, As long as the hackle has a darkish colour the fish will never stay away from it. On a good day i have had up to 20 fish on one of these. Instead of hare's ear try some seals fur, Black seals fur and black hackle is a deadly way of tying it too and catches loads of fish.
1.Start the thread.
2.Tie in your wing post and apply some varnish to it to keep it from losing its shape.
3. Dub your body with hares ear.
4. Tie in your hackle.
5. Give your hackle 2-4 turns around with wing post and tie your hackle off at the eye of the hook.
Here is the size of the fly.
This fly is really deadly when fish are feeding on buzzers and emergers. Green,black and red game are the best hackles to use. Make sure you match the body colour with the hackle. Just try tying it in all different ways until you catch enough fish
Hope this help.
