After returning from a fishing trip to the Lower Mountain Fork and nearly getting skunked I decided I needed to beef up my midge selection (a nice guy gave me a size 22 mercury midge that did the trick). I had previously relied heavily on zebra midges with tungsten bead heads. HOwever, those were too big (even the size 1. So, enter the mercury midge.

I went to our local fly shop and bought some clear glass beads for the head. Then I decided to buy more beads for flies (love that look). My question now that I have tied the mercury midges, what other patterns can be tied with glass beads (for freshwater). I will look forward to your replies. Thanks.
