Fly Tying Midge Patterns: Get The Proportions Right Posted by joey on Monday, January 07 @ 20:35:57 PST Midge patterns are so simple, not alot of material and not much hook to cover. But, I have a difficult time getting the proportions right. I either end up too close to the eye, or too far from it, giving the fly a goofy look. I dont ties these as often as I should because of this. I use hook sizes 20 down to 22. I know that these are small but thats what works, especially in the winter. Any help to get these flies where they need to be would be great. The comments are owned by the poster. We aren't responsible for their content.

Just picture the profile in your mind tie the body all the way up to the head. Then use dubbing for the thorax and tie off the head. I think the key is to use 8/0 or smaller thread so as not to build up too much bulk. Its also good to have a solid midge larvae, pupae and emerger pattern. The cluster flies work well as dries for hatching midges on the water. Re: Fly Tying Midge Patterns: Get The Proportions Right by joey on Wednesday, January 09 @ 10:46:17 PST   Photos From The Road
