Bionic Midge (Mark Boname) HOOK: Dai Riki 060-18 THREAD: Uni 8/0 Camel TAIL/WING BUDS Krystal Flash, root beer ABDOMEN: flattened tying thread RIB: Ultra Wire, copper xsm THORAX: Superfine, mahogany brown BUDS: Krystal flash, root beer.
An excellent tailwater and winter midge - slender profile, a bit more detailed than most midges, and just the right amount of bling. A variety of colors is a good idea. I like silver wire with black or red, and copper wire with brown or olive.
