Jig Thread Midge
Cheech - May 2023
This fly really doesn't need much of an introduction if you just have watched some of our previous videos on this "Thread Midge" or "Yong Special" as some people call it. I love this version of this bug because I can throw it on either a euro rig, or just under a dry fly or bobber. My best colors are cream and brown, but feel free to experiment with colors that match your local bugs.
