Midge

Fly: Lars Christian Benten, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 206BL 18-22
Thread: Tan UNI 8/0
Shuck: Few fibres of clear Z-lon
Abdomen: Tan tying thread
Wing: White CDC
Thorax: SLF Masterclass olive
Hackle: Dark Dun cock hackle (genetic) trimmed underneath
Breathers: White CDC
Note: A better, more close imitation than the Easy Spot Midge, but also a poorer floater. The fly is really good on calm surfaces and slow water.
