How to Tie the Holo Midge

How to Tie the Holo Midge fly tying video

This week, our guy Tyler is in the studio, working his magic on a sizzling, super sexy, and highly requested fly straight from the YouTube streets—the Holo Midge! This little gem has been absolutely wrecking fish on the tailwaters, especially in those tiny, ninja-sized versions. But let’s be real—I’m tying mine big enough to actually see (hello, size 18!). The Holo Midge is a killer attractor pattern that’s also perfect for dialing in the tying fundamentals—segmentation, proportions, and those delicate little wing puffs. If you're a pro at all that, congrats, you’re better than me. But Tyler? The dude’s got it dialed. He makes this fly look as flashy, fishy, and straight-up buggy as it gets!
