That’s a good guess, Ray. It has heavy wire, and does appear to be 1X long….. Let me dig around and see what I can come up with.

Very well done, Doug! I think I will give it a try today to copy your cream Flymph…… what make and model Hook do you use

Wayne.. I'm interested to know whether you seine the river bottom to see the color of the nymphs. I've fished a couple times in different parts of Colorado, and that is the only place I've found blood midges. Here i've found cream and black of course, but not other colors. I don't necessarily follo...

…. that’s the results of your first attempt? Incredibly well done!

Another lovely pattern from the vice of roadkill Bill. In particular, I really like the shade of brown used here.

Swell pattern and photo, Lance. Sometimes I use a counter wrapped body, other times not……it depends on the recipe.
