Go to Tube Fly Turmoil  
Tube Fly Turmoil

Tie a muddler

HiVis CDC Midge
A high-visibility orange post and CDC makes this small dry perfect for your 7X tippet. Easy to tie, easy to follow on the water and a perfect choice when the fish are picky. Darryl Lampert from South Africa shows us one of his effective patterns.

Go to The Real Rag Worm

Eyes of Epoxy
