Abdomen - Hareline Superfine Dubbing - Black Hareline Super Fine Dry Fly Dubbing*: Wings - McFlylon - White In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Bowtie Midge! "Aptly named, the Bowtie Midge is a killer pupating midge pattern. This little bug may make your day on your next Stillwater excursion. It is an excellent midge pattern that also translates nicely to imitate their larger Chironomid cousins. The foam splitting the emerging wing not only looks good but helps with presentation. This fly is deadly when fished on a sinking line that gets the fly down to depth. Once the line maxes out the fly will lift back up in the column perfectly mimicking the naturals that are on the move. Fish love to strike during these hatch occurrences. The Bowtie Midge will help you maximize your chances when the bugs are on the move."
