Midge Miscellany

Midge Miscellany

After perusing a handful of books about tying and fishing midges, and in anticipation of turning to these tiny flies for much of my winter angling, I thought I'd share a potpourri of midge information today. While even tying them on might seem like a chore, the part that midges play in most trout diets makes them impossible to ignore. Even the biggest fish will gorge themselves on bugs that match a size 28 fly pattern. Getting comfortable with fishing these flies goes a long way. And today I discuss some of the tying, fishing, and storage tips that have helped me over the decades. Whether you're a believer in midges or not, listen and get excited about angling with the smallest flies out there. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
