Magic Midge
Related content
The Magic Midge is a fly pattern from southern Alberta fly tyer, Brent Schlenker. Brent fishes some of Alberta's best stillwater ponds and this midge will find some real slabs of pothole rainbow. While this is a lake fly, I think it will do well on the creeks this spring. The midge can be tied in a variety of colors like olive, black, red, and chartreuse. The original uses just a thread base under clear V-rib. I choose to use the Stretch Magic bead cord instead as I like the fine diameter and the stretch the material has. https://amzn.to/2K7Ao0j

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.
