Extending Coffin's Pop Top Tailwater Winter Midge Family 04Mar23

Yesterday reminded me that olive midges are relevant in winter and early spring on the tailwaters. I'd focused the Pop Top on grey & maroon but I could easily add olive, and so I did. I did so in two variants: one with double threads and one with olive and XS black wire overwrap. I think it's best, aka most slim, to stick with the two thread body, but both will work. Below are the recipes for the Pop Top Family; how to tie Coffin's Pop Top is described HERE.
