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.

Surefire Midge

No comments yet

One of those simple patterns that never seems to fail. This little black midge with a trailing UV shuck is, as the name suggests, a foolproof choice when the fish are on anything small and black. The up-side down hackle gives this midge a slightly lower profile when presented. Best in sizes from 16-24.

Hook: Mustad Heritage C49 X Barbless # 18
Tying thread: Sheer 14/0 black
Trailing shuck: UV enhancer grey
Abdomen: Black tying thread
Post: Small foam cylinder white
Hackle: Natural black cock
Thorax: Black superfine dubbing

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.
