Another great tie - with really useful tips and superb camera work. Thank you.
Great fly and great information.
Wow thank you for sharing this.
Tie mine with grizzly hackle, they work great.
Awesome fly. I bet this would work great for panfish.
Ed Koch talks about this fly in his book "Midge Magic". He ran into a woman, Peg, on several occasions who was catching trout on this fly. I believe it was on Big Springs. It's an interesting story and worth a read. Nice choice to tie here.
Don Holbrook wrote the book with a forward by Ed Kpoh.
Reminds me of Bob Dylan's "The Girl on the Greenbrier Shore. He goes I left my mother underneath the bridge, when I saw the girl on the Greenbrier Shore". lol Thanks for sharing. Vitreous floaters only prevents me form tying this small.
Awesome looking patern but very small for my older eyes lol
now that's a small fly!
Quite brilliant. :-)
What lens are you shooting with
What bobbin do you use
No new flies, just variations of older ones. This is a good looking variation of Griffiths Gnat
Respectfully, I can't agree with you. The only thing this fly has in common with a Griffiths Gnat is peacock herl. The construction of the two is quite different. Also, Peg's Midge is a very old pattern that may even pre-date the Griffith's Gnat. There are a myriad of patterns that are derivative, this is not one of them.
@@tightlinevideo I appreciate your position and you may well be correct that Peg's Midge predates Griffith's Gnat. They are both great patterns.
where can I get hooks that small? and a good tying vice and a midge vice adapter?
William H anywhere on the internet
William H local fly shop or internet. support local shops if you can!!
Get a peak rotary vise
For tiny flies I just use a cheap vice from an orvis kit. I mounted a hook and then dremeled the jaws everywhere they were not needed. I use it more than my expensive vive once things get past about an 18 unless I need rotary.
How big in size would you tie these? 18?
Ted E. 26
Ted E. I would go no bigger than 20
28 to small? or can i go smaller
ps cuase I want ty some 0n a 32 and i now need some where can i get some
