Notes:
(1) This is a great pattern when swarms of midges are coming off the water!
(2) Imagine the variations of this very simply pattern, The original is tied with a single strand of pearl Flashbou, but any flat mylar tinsel should be productive.
(3) The wing is formed after the body is wrapped and secured. Then make two or three twists and secure to the top of the hook
(4) I have replaced the Flashabou with a sewing product called Sulky. This stuff is much stronger and doesn't stretch nearly as much as Flashabou.
Materials:
Hook: TMC 2488 sizes 18 -24 (or similar curve nymph hook)
Bead: 15/0 Gray silver lined glass, Tohu Japanese
Thread: Black, choice of denier. (Veevus 14/0 pictured)
