Hook: Standard Nymph #14- 20 or 200 R

Thread: UTC 70 color to match body, olive

Tail: Dun hackle fibers, use about 8 to 12 strands

Body: Thread

Wing: CDC white or gray

Thorax: Antron

TYING INSTRUCTION

Start your thread and tie in about 8 strands of some hackle fibers at the bend of the hook.

once you have tied the tail in you need to make a smooth thread body up the shank until you are almost up at the eye of the hook where you are going to tie in the cdc.

You will need the cdc puffs. You will only need to tie in one cdc puff per fly. Don’t worry about what it is going to look like because you will be cutting to size.

You wont need a lot of this antron, just enough to cover the thread to make a nice thread body thorax. You can use what ever color you want. I just like mine to match the body of the fly, but I have sen it tied with another color to offset the fly. It is up to you.

Whip finish the fly and your ready to trim the cdc puff.

When I trim the puff I like to flod it to where it almost meets up to the bend, but NOT past the bend and hold it tight and make one solid cut and it should turn out perfect.

This is what it should look like. These aremeant to be tied real sparce. Don’t over due it or they will not look right to the fish. Midges are to be small in profile.
