Phil is from Utah, where I live - this is a staple fly on our local tailwater, the Provo River. I know this fly is also very commonly used in this same color scheme to imitate BWOs, esp. the tiny ones we get in the fall. But it also works well as a midge given our late winter Buffalo midge hatch.
Hi Geoff, I do a whole chapter on wax and its uses in my new book out later this year. But in short it helps with everything, it grips materials, it prolongs the life of your flies, it stops difficult/slippery materials from slipping... every tyer should use it!
@@Thefeatherbender You are very welcome you never fail to excel. I do this one with a variant too, a simple drop of Pearl Pink enamel on the shaft above the point.
i tied some with a slim body as you did, and a few with some ' meat' on them.. at lease on my california stream,, they like the ' meater' version better
Very much honour and appreciate your great work, Sir!!
Thank you👃

That's great, thank you for the info.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Nice done, I like the way it sits so low in the water. Thanks👍
Glad you like it Jim.
Fantastic as always. I bet a great pattern in olive as well. Only one way to find out. Thanks for all you share in these videos, Barry.
Thanks, I'm sure it will work just as well in olive.
Well done,your instruction skills are as good as your Tying skill
Thank you Lynn, so pleased that you are finding them helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing this fly,
MSG Leum
My pleasure
Lovely neat midge pattern. One to look forward to tying over winter as our season here ends tomorrow 😭
Have fun!
This is a great pattern in North America during the baetis hatch!
Thanks, good to know.
Perfect, thank you!
You're welcome!
Wow I love it.
I'm glad you like it
You may find Phil on a cloudy day at a particular bend just below the dam. 😉

What does the wax help with?

@@Thefeatherbender thank you for the reply. I've used was on dub ING, just not like this. Thanks again.
I tied the first one with our wax and it was a disaster… next one I remembered the wax and it was a nice clean fly
