Re: BH MIdges
Those look absolutely deadly! Could you take a picture of the bottom one wet? I'd like to see how much the underbody shows through once it gets wet.
Great stuff!
Great stuff!

Roadkill, Howdy;
Hideous beasties they are. The trout should eat them right up.
I'm curious about that bottom one as well.

Are these for still water fishing, Bill?

Thanks guys!

Getting it wet doesn't allow the thread under color to show through but I am sure a little casting and fish wear will do that.
If I want that translucent effect immediately I will fish one tied with clear stretch cord...

Bill these are tied for all waters since midges are so prevalent. I have had midge patterns save the day on still waters, tailwater fishing, rivers and spring creeks. The Trout Candy tied in #16 is the first thing I am trying in some Central Oregon lakes this year.

Re: BH MIdges
Ray,
Here is a link to my tying friend Bob's step by step for his Trout Candy.
http://www.coflyfishers.org/resources/D ... onomid.pdf
I have already tied them in #16-20s and may tie some 14s for eastern Oregon alkaline lakes where some of the midges are monsters like some of the fish.
I tie some of my TDC midges in 9672 #10s.
Modern Midges by Takahashi and Hubka is my newest go to resource for midges but I also have a fondness for the tying style in Midge Magic by Holbrook and Koch.

Bill,
These patterns are awesome! Size twenty? I know that midges are minute but WOW yours are crazy good! I like the very last one your tied with the "translucence" that is bound to kill!
Super job friend,
Doug

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
