SIZE 20 MIDGES



]
Hook: Size 20 Temico hook
Thread: Hends Synton tying thread black and olive 
Tail: Hends natural and olive micro fibetts 
Body: Hends body quills

These little fish killers are super flies when the midges are about on the river during the hot evenings of June and July. I have had great success on these for wild trout recently when they are smutting on the caenis hatches. This can be a frustrating time on anglers when the feeding fish become very fussy but trying small simple dressings like these and very fine tippet you can fool the fish to a couple of rises. I usually fish these on light tippet around 0.080 or 0.090 and if you lure a good fish then you will be in for some good sport indeed.
