This may also work for you ..... lay down a thread base on you hook and cover with clear mono. Another option would be to lay down thread base ( color of your choice) and then wrap stretch magic (.5mm) over the top of it. For most of my midge patterns I use olive biots. Send me a SASE and I'll send you a few if you want to try them out.

To answer your questions about the clear olive thread .... I've not seen any and do not know where to get any. If you find some please let us know where you've acquired it.

Thanks.
