Tying Tip: The brown midge (updated)

You have to love a newspaper that is willing to publish fly tying tips. The Idaho Statesman regularly publishes cool fly patterns in their outdoor section (at least on their website, I don’t know if it is in print as well). The pattern today is the brown midge which looks like you could tie any number of ways to match the midges hatching where you fish. I would probably just use a grizzly or black hackle this time of year since most of the midges I am fishing are black. For the full details read the article:

Update: Check out this nice pattern for midges that was shared with me by Curtis Fry. It is called the foamerger and it sounds like a real killer.
