Litmus Midge

Notes:

(1)  A red/silver lining, white or pearl glass bead is most effective.
(2)  Don't allow too much twist on Tiewell's when tying body.  The fuzzier the better!
Great pattern to offer on hard fishes waters or following an angler on a run.
(4)  The body is started exactly as you would thread.  Wind nymph ribbing into the bend and return.  Tie off with black thread.

Materials:

Hook;  Daiichi 1150 or similar curved nymph/scud hook.  Sizes 16-22
Bead:  15/0 red with silver lining or solid white/pearl Toho, Japanese glass
Thread:  Black (Veevus 14/0 pictured)
Body:  Tiewell's Mottled Nymph/Midge Ribbing, Coachmen Red
Thorax:  Hend's Spectra Dubbing, #335,  Dark Brown Peacock
