Midges The Flies. The midge flies are tiny and range from a larval stage which is not much more than some color on the curved shank of the hook to the dry midge on the surface. Although some midges in other areas are larger, the local size ranges from #20 to #28. We have some specially tied smaller sizes down to #28. Some older eyes require a midge threader to be able to thread the line through the eye of the hook. As we discussed above, the midge larva will change color from the red to the darker colors be they grey, dark olive or black. So we recommend that one carries a range of colors from size #20 through to #26 or #28 if your eyes can stand it. These are 3 examples of midge flies provided by Umpqua which we carry in the shop. We have hundreds.                                      Marabou Midge Larva      Befus Glass Bead Midge           Black Midge     Suggested flies: Larva Copper john – red #18 - #22 Copper john – zebra #18 - #22 Mercury midge #18 - #22 Tungsten WD40 #18 - #22 Candy cane midge, Palm #18 - #22 Barr's Midge larva – black #18 - #22 Barr's Midge larva – olive #18 - #22 Barr's Midge larva – red #18 - #22 Mercer's midgeling - root beer #18 Marabou midge Larva – red #18 - #22 Pupa Disco midge – red #20 - #22 Disco midge – pink #20 - #22 Disco midge – olive #20 - #22 Befus glass bead – red #20 - #22 Befus glass bead – gray #20 - #22 Befus glass bead – olive #20 - #22 Befus glass bead – black #20 - #22 Emergers Biot emerger black, Palm #20 - #22 Biot emerger gray, Palm #20 - #22 Special emerger gray, Palm #20 - #22 Shuck trailer emerger, Palm, #20 - #22 Midge winker - black #20 - #24 Midge winker - olive #18 - #24 RS2 - dun #20 - #22 RS2 - cream #20 - #22 RS2 - gray #20 - #22 Brooks sprout - black #20 - #22 Brooks sprout - olive #20 - #22 Dry Befus adult black #20 - #24 Parachute midge #20 - #24 Griffiths gnat #20 - #24 AK's adult midge #18 - #24         Start   The Midge   Fishing Techniques "the best in Colorado Fly Fishing"
