Dreams Of Winter Midges ~ The Pop Top 27Oct22

I've been doing some tying recently so the boxes are becoming less decimated. And strangely, my dreams right now are helping with tying decisions... as my dreams tend to do with my then current work efforts ~ why not cook on stuff day & night. Of course with the seasons' change I know midges are becoming ever more important. I had a pretty vivid dream about a greyish, two thread midge I've never seen before. I call it the Pop Top. On #22 TMC 2488H, I tie in black and white threads (concurrently, from mid-hook bend in back) for a body... 2 contrasting colors are for segmentation; make sure to align them next to each other without twisting as you wrap. I then wrap an Adam's grey thorax from the eye back to in front of hook point. Then I lightly dub on and squish down, so as to fit on top rear half of the thorax, some Adam's UV ice dub mix (grey & lavender with a smidge of black). I pull the thread over top of the thorax and tie in at the eye, then whip finish. I cut back the ice dub some but leave a smidge, say 1/2 hook gap in height. I haven't fished it yet but it looks like my dream: ice dub as a "wing" and attractor and obvious but thin 2 thread body segmentation. Love it.
