fshng84 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Here is a quick tie fishing fly pattern that uses minimal material; for ease of reference, we call it the Simple Midge. Works well on Bluegill, Sunfish, and fingerling Bass. Hope to try it on trout this upcoming Trout Stocking Season! Recipe calls for: Peacock Herl Mallard Flank Size 16 Caddis Hook (can go up/down as desired) Black Tying Thread Quick Tie - Simple Midge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualAngler 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 Great Video! This will be the next pattern I'm going to try. I actually have the Materials on hand; would a #12 hook be too big? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks CasualAngler - Size 12 should work for Bluegill and Sunfish. I have some in sz 12 and 14 in the flybox for the upcoming trout season... plan to try it depending on what the trout are feeding on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
