I decided to tie a few midge emergers; starting with a #18 and worked my way down to a #28. (I do use magnifiers) This one is the Matthew’s Zelon Midge see Tim Flagler's video. I showed my wife and she said "so you're tying fruit flies now?" I laughed and said I think fruit flies are smaller. She said I saw a dead one over on the counter. I collected it and compared it to the fly and was surprised. I guess I'm tying fruit flies now.

Really nice 👍

Additional info from 2018 post.

Another great fly, especially like how it sinks with head vertical. Would work well for bass in crawdad colors.

I like it.

Never thought to use a GP tippet for a shoulder…makes the fly visually pop & zing.
