Simple Foam Midge

Here we will be tying a fly by myself that I made few years back. The idea with this fly is to let is fish right under the surface film of the water. Just like the idea with Emergers. This fly hasn't enough buoyancy to float completely but it will sink slowly. Therefor it can be fished on not too fast drag close to the surface. The fly is a good option for both stream and lake fishing. I use it mostly in lakes myself. The Foam Midge catches both brown trout and Arctic char and it's simple and easy to tie. The fly can be tied with a thicker body and the wing can be replaced with CDC for increased buoyancy. The current version have worked best for me personally.
