Midge Swap 2001. Use this midge in low light conditions in winter such as
overcast days or in dark canyons. This can be a very effective fly during these
times. However, I have had very little success during bright sunny days with
this pattern. I fish this pattern deep along the bottom. (I have only fished
this pattern in Colorado, but it should also work in other western states)
Body:
4-inch single
strand of charcoal embroidery floss twisted in direction of the floss twist
with a 4-inch length of blue flash until the combined strand starts to furl.
Wrap around the hook shank counterclockwise forward and tie off with the thread
at the thorax. Note: embroidery floss generally is six-strands; cut a 4-inch
piece and separate the strands to make six flies.
