In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max ties the Massacre Midge! I'm pretty confident that this fly will work anywhere in the world. Fish it deep, fish it as a dropper, I don't think it really matters. This fly can imitate a variety of emerging insects. The Massacre Midge created by Matt McCannel has climbed to the top of the list as one of my favorite patterns in Colorado. It can be tied in a variety of different colors with different colored foams. This fly has a lot of "buggyness" when you rough up the dubbing a little bit, making it very dynamic to your fishing situation.
