First fly recommendations
I'd say a thread midge is about the easiest thing to tie. Add a Copper bead and a Copper Wire with black thread for a Zebra midge. #18 nymph/scud hook is my preference. |

good stuff
It's great for scuds too. Wrap different types of bodies with krystal flash, flashabou, etc. and then add the clear stretch tube as the covering. It's a great scud pattern with a beadhead. |

Why not a 200R
the curvature of a midge is just a snapshot in time as it drifts in the current
ive heard it said the gape/gap of the hook is smaller than that of a scud type hook and could hinder it hooking ability |
