Matt makes it all look so simple, outstanding tyer.
Really excellent fly. Its another brilliant pattern, very intuitive. Just about all the patterns you showcase have that quality and midge dry flies are one of the things I only have a few patterns for and this will make a fine addition. Thanks again!
My kind of fly, few materials, fairly cheap and you can tie it in under three minutes! I am going to tie up a batch to go into my Griffiths Gnat box! It takes real genius to come up with something this simple, Rene Harrop been doing this sort of thing for a good 50 years now!
Ingenious. I watch many tyings on RUclips but very seldom am inspired to copy what I watch. This seasonally relevant little gem is getting tied tonight. Thank you for posting.
With a little tweak or two this pattern can be adapted to mimic the local small black stoneflies that are often so hard to imitate.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video I tie this pattern in a size 22. I have used it on everything from small clear mountain streams to large rivers. This pattern works great every where i take it.
Very nice--Should make minimalist tyers happy.Thanks Earl
Just so happens I have plenty of the required materials on hand. Thanks for the video, will give this one a try.
Very nice. I saw some midges today and noticed how they appear "fuzzy" like this fly.
Looks very good and catchy.
another great tie cant wait to see your other videos!
Harhar har , looks bloody excellent. On my local loch trout just beginning to feed on sub surface and in the film midge larvae. Looking forward to trying this. Where's my magnifying glass.
Thanks for posting. Lewis
Could double as a small beetle, too. Outstanding.
Good video, Im always lookin for new midge patterns. . Would like to see some terrestrials this summer. Letort Hopper,Letort Cricket and the old Henry's Fork Hopper would be cool to see, havnt seen any decent videos on the web of any good hopper patterns.
Keep 'em comin :)
Are those side-fibers imitating emerging wings or the legs? I don't know of a midge which wings emerge off to the side. The wings usually remain folded next to the body while the legs sprawl out first.
what time of the year do caddis larva start popping up in small streams and creeks?
If you pull back the puff to form a wing could this could be a Mini caddis right
Tim, looks like an easy tie...except for the seeing part! I need stronger glasses!!
Yeah Alan, there's a lot to like on this one. I can even see incorporating some of the CDC folds, splits and snips into other patterns.

I see this is tied on a size 20. we have some really big midges in the spring where I live. I wanted to tie some on a size 16, but the cdc puffs I have are too short. Is it possible to find larger puffs?
How do I find CDC puffs that will work for this pattern? I have some "select" CDC that are long enough, but not fluffly enough. I also have some hareline oiler puffs which are nice and bushy, but not even close to being long enough for this pattern, even in a size 20. Any brand/product specific suggestions?
+Conan Barnes Standard CDC puffs work just fine. I know Wapsi and Orvis both have them and I'm sure others do as well.
+Conan Barnes If you fly tie a ton and feel like you never leave your bench like me. I suggest ordering a large bulk pack from trout hunter. In the pack there is what seems like about a 1000 puffs if not more and I have found at least 75% of the bulk pack is long enough. I ordered the dark natural and the trout in Wyoming seem to love this pattern. If need be you can order bulk packs of cdc feathers from trout hunter too.
