Midge

Step 1

I take a CDC hackle

Step 2

I take a foam cuboid in which I made an incision in the middle of a face, for the length. I have highlighted the incision with a ballpoint pen.

Step 3

I do get the CDC hackle in the incision.

Step 4

I cut the fibers that exit off the incision

Step 5

I take the tuft of fibers to the ends

Step 6

I twist the fibers to get the body of the midge.

Step 7

I tie the body on a grub hook.

Step 8

I will take two small grizzly hackles.

Step 9

I tie the tips of the hackles on the sides of the extended body.

Step 10

I tie another grizzly hackle in the same point.

Step 11

In the same point, I tie three peacock herls

Step 12

I twist and wrap the herls around the shank of the hook, then cut the surplus.

Step 13

I wrap the grizzly hackle around the chest of the fly, tie it on the hook and cut the excess.

Step 14

I cover the chest with CDC fibers and tie them on the hook.

Step 15

I tie the head of the fly.

Step 16

I take off the fly from the vise and I reduce the length of the tuft of CDC fibers.

Step 17

Midge finished

Step 18

Another midge, smaller.
