Midge Fly Tying Patterns

These are my Midge Fly Tying Patterns and those I use when fly fishing in streams and waters. I realize that I only share a few, and maybe I should add to the database. But the fact that there are so few midges on this page is probably not because I have been lazy posting, but probably because I only use a couple dry midges when out fishing. My approach to matching the hatch and fly tying is practical. I am not into the artistry. I am more a craftsman than an artist. All my midges have been fished day in and day out.

The midge fly tying patterns are tested and proven,
and they’ll match any midge hatch in the world.

CdC Midge

March 14, 2016/0 Comments/in Adult, Midges /by Kjell S. Rakkenes

There are two dry fly midges that I’ll never go fishing without – The CdC midge and The Parachute Midge. Easy to tie, but act like fish magnets in the water. It attracts trout and grayling, both in still water and and streams.

Puff Wing Midge Buzzer

The Puff Wing Midge Buzzer is a simple midge emerger, that’s proven extremely effective on midge hatches on still waters. Change the wing to something less wild, if you want.

The Parachute Midge

You’re probably, as me, always looking for great midge patterns. The Parachute Midge is such a pattern. The Parachute Midge is as easy to tie as the CdC Midge, and just as effective on a midge hatch. The fly design is similar to the Rena Caddis pattern.
