Translucent MIDGE...

[planettrout]

A pattern influenced by the tying of Stefan Florea, who lives in New Zeland:



BLACK SHAN MIDGE HOOK: Mustad c49s, #18-#22, TMC 2487, #18-#22, Daiichi 1130, #18-#22
THREAD: Body, UTC 70 Denier, Black
RIB: Red/Yellow/Red Superhair or Twisted Gordon Griffith 14/0 Sheer, Red/Yellow/Red
THORAX: Gordon Griffith 14/0 Sheer, Black
WINGBUDS: Premo Goose Biots, Sulphur
BREATHERS: White Antron floss
* Place a needle in the hook eye and 2 coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails
This theme may be carried on to cover the predominate Midge colors: Black, Red, Blue, White, Tan/Cream and Olive

Looks good. I tie a similar pattern with red cheeks in sizes 12-14 for lakes.
