We all know and love the thread midge, bling midge, yong special, etc... That we know. This fly is that same tiny fly style with a little bit more realism. Fulling Mill has a great range of stripped peacock quills so you can make them almost any color! I like to fish these with a starndard indicator rig with really light tippet. The lighter the tippet, the faster your flies will get in the zone.
