I'm nearly done topping off the tailwater midge box. Here are the favorites for springtime: (L to R) 1) Dave's olive green vinyl KF Flasher (olive thread on 2487, olive vinyl rib with XS copper wire overwrap, 2 or 4 strands Krystal Flash wings, olive superfine dubbed thorax), 2) Coffin's Smethurst Midge Variant (rusty brown thread on 2488H, stripped peacock herl body finished with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails, olive Krystal Flash wings, thorax dubbing of mostly grizzly hackle underfur but some peacock herl fuzz from stripping process and brown superfine, tied both with and without mercury glass bead), 3) Dorsey's mercury bead head, flashback black beauty, 4) Dave's red glass bead head mojo midge emerger (red glass bead and black thread on 2487 with XS copper wire overwrap, 50% of a strand (4 threads and flash) of Madeira Glamour as wing, thorax dubbing of black superfine mixed with black peacock ice) 5) Craven's olive JuJu midge. Still need to tie some cream stuff but the olive, black and browns are done and I have plenty of red.
