FLIES I'VE PRESENTED IN SNO-FLY WORLDWIDE SHOWCASE OF MIDGES

Grey or Light Blue Dun Midges




          This midge is tied with a detachable body on a Gamakatsu C12-BM size #30 barbless midge hook. I've come to love these hooks. As you can see they have a large eye which makes it easier to tie the fly to the leader. For the second midge I chose to go with a cdc for wings instead of a synthetic material.




          As you see this midge is more like light blue dun in color (I'm a sucker for light blue dun and I think that the trout are likewise). The picture of the other midge isn't quite true, when it comes to colors, depending on the light. This second one is also tied on the size #30 Gamakatsu midge hook. So the detached body isn't very long. Since I can't try them out now I have to wait for spring to see what the final judges (the trout) think about these midges. Until next post ...


Kind regards,
Mats Olsson

    Wonderful.
    As I've said before it's amazing how you can tie those micro flies.

    It's just a matter of getting used to. Saves a lot of material too. ;-)

    Friendly greetings from the cold north,

    Hi Dan!

    I had to make a tool to be able to make detached bodies that small. With that tool it isn't so hard to make flies like these. It just takes a little adjustments of how bigger flies are made. Thanks for your input!

    Kind greetings from Sweden,
    Mats Olsson

    Like you, I enjoy tying and fishing tiny flies. I routinely fish #24 and #26 white parachute flies on my local spring creek. There's no greater thrill than watching a large trout sip your tiny offering.

    Hi Tenkara Ambassodor!

    Yes, fishing with tiny flies is a very special thrill. I also enjoy tying very much tying tiny flies (as I guess you've already understood). It's something special when you have to limit even the turns of a UNI Trico 17/0 thread tying your fly. Furthermore the take up very little space. Thanks for commenting!

    Kind Regards,
    Mats Olsson
