Olive Midge Pupa

[Z Fisher]

So, I've been tying some midge nymphs prepping for an outing when the temps get above freezing. Tired of the same old patterns I was inspired by a pattern in Gierach's book "Good Flies". I tied up a small midge pupa in both olive and black using goose biots.

That looks like the real thing to me. I love fishing tiny midge pupa.

It makes me wonder how the Croton is fishing.............?

z-

no lead? no tungsten? I don't know if I could fish that :)

nice pattern, cook that one up this weekend?

Adam -- I'm envisioning this one being tied to a double tungsten bead head, wire wrapped, stonefly. Cooked this one up after my 7 am conference call but before my 8:30 am call.

Nice simple fly... that's a good one to start off a day at the bench.
