Midge Swap

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of doing this #26 Herl Midge Emerger, or something pretty close. Would it be of use to some of you ?

It can be fished in the surface film or down with split shot......

26, well it's off to buy one of those magnifying things you stick on your hat.

 

 

I've had to order the hackle for my flies so until it gets here I'm tying steelhead stuff for the fall run.

I'm ready for an address, please.

 

I got them done last weekend and will put some pictures up later today.

 

They will be getting mailed next Tuesday.

Well, that's why I asked the question. Some guys swear by them, some swear off of them. No doubt, you need good eyes, a steady hand, and even then maybe a threader. Some guys add tippet at home so they don't have to fuss over it on the water. Where I was fishing today I never used anything bigger than a 20, and my best producer was a #24 EHC.

Anyway, I guess maybe I should do something a bit bigger than #26 for this swap. Lots of options !
