The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

Transformer Midge

This is a great all-round dry fly pattern which will represent a Hawthorn, Gnat and Adult Midge..It is worth tying in a smaller size as well and instead of CDC as the wing a pearly flash can be used...

Materials Used;

Hook, Kamasan B160 size 14
Thread, Uni-8/0 Black
Body, Small or Micro Black Suede Chenille
Legs, Pre-Knotted Black Pheasant Tail
Wing, Natural CDC Feathers
Thorax, Dyed Black Peacock Herl
Hackle, Grizzle Cock

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
