dflanagan 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks for posting the video. Really cool midge. I tied one up (doesn't look nearly as nice as yours) and plan to fish it soon. Can't wait to see how the stockers like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave G. 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Nice, post a pic if you don't mind. I'd like to see how they turn out! I don't post photos anymore. I posted a few photos a long time ago before SmugMug ( what I had for a photo hosting site) stopped embedding capability from their site. Since they did that, I now cancelled with them and I have no hosting site now, which seems to work out fine . For the record, they won't be anything special to look at..LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutbum11 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2017 Dave G, No Worries. And I'm sure they well be good enough to catch fish, which is all that really matters! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy enough to post pictures directly from your computer, without the need for a photo storage site. best fishing hole.jpg It hasn't "happened" yet , Mike, so no lie there ! Not those particular midges anyway. I'm not interested enough to take macro shots of size 16-20 midges anyway, never mind try to share the photos. Some people have that passion, that was in another time and place for me long gone by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm probably going to alter the pattern anyway, into chironamid pupa to use in a couple of local ponds. They don't hatch till late March or early April, so I don't need to start tonight. I liked the stripped peacock, it gives me another interesting option in my chironamid bottles ( I stick them in pill bottles, it's not like I don't have enough empty pill bottles around ).
