Merry Christmas - Electric Blue Freak Show 25Dec13

With respect for the Blue and Arkansas tailwaters in winter I crafted the Electric Blue Freak Show midge last year. It works in Silverthorne and Pueblo. This is a flashy blue-green emerger midge in #22 and #24. This year's variant incorporates quick descent metal dubbing in a mix of teal + purple rather than the previously used superfine. I "always" dub the thorax about the same size as the bead. The rest is the same: black glass bead head on #2488 hook, black thread, blue-green mirrored mylar, xs copper wire overwrap, small sparse antron emerger wing (1/3 of strand). I hope to use it this week again for winter whoppers. I'm gettin' a little better with the macro lens setup too. Merry Christmas fishermen.
