Kong (a.k.a. Copper Yong)

Fly: Cory Muench, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 100; Sizes 20-24
Rib: Fine Copper wire
Thread/Abdomen: Coats and Clark Summer Brown
Head: Uni 8/0; black
Tying notes: Start thread in middle of shank and work toward eye, then back to middle. Tie in wire and work thread to hook bend, then back to the eye. Wrap wire ribbing to eye and tie off with half turn. Use two turn whip finish then cover with black thread to make head and finish.

A Very effective variation on a standard midge pattern.
