Bubble Midge

No comments yet

Here we will be tying the fly Bubble Midge. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing and catches both brown trout, arctic char, brook trout and rainbow. This is one of my Go-to flies there are always in the box. I prefer them in sizes 16-20, but you can of course tie them smaller. Here in Iceland size nr. 16 has worked out just fine. The Bubble Midge is simple to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing. Some say that this fly is originally made guy a guy in the USA in around 1992 named Rick Murphy, but it may be as well older than that in some variations with something else to replace the glass bead.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

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.
