>Comments: Midge Swap 2001. I use the dry fly hook to avoid as much bulk as possible. Not much to this pattern really but is effective. Have had good luck on the Provo with it. Can easily mach many midge larva species with it by simply changing the color of thread. Looks great with a gun metal colored bead head also.
