JAB's Glitter Larva

Notes:

(1)  Great searching or change-up pattern.  Most effective when a lot of midges are present.
(2)  The entire fly is tied with Glitter Thread.  Due to the nature of this material keeping an even body will difficult.  Best advice is to twist the bobbin clockwise tightening thread and take very firm wraps.  Be careful when whip finishing as material will want to unravel.  Recommend a trying to keep the whip finish loose and then maneuver head to shape before cutting the waste end.   The top of the head is gently marked with black indelible ink which will  lightly bleed downward.   Coat body with UV resin

Materials:

Hook:  TMC 2488 or equivalent.  Size 18- 20
Body/Head:  Glitter Thread, White (pearl)
Head:  Indelible ink, black
Coating:  UV resign of choice.  (Deer Creek [Hard] pictured)
