Russell Doughty Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Does anyone know who originated the Harvester Midge? How long has it been around?
fishinwrench Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 If you ask Charlie Reading he'll tell you it was his and someone stole it from him. trythisonemv and grizwilson 1 1
tjm Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 saw it attributed to a Kent Campbell It's simple enough to have been "invented" by a dozen different tyers. I know I tied a Griffith’s Gnat for ten or twelve years before I ever saw one in a store, simple tie using two of my favorite materials and it happened to work. In my mind it is still a peacock/grizzly. snagged in outlet 3 1
BilletHead Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Kent is a friend of ours.

You tell Kent that I said he stole it from Charlie. He'll get a chuckle out of that. Actually I bet that Mike Ross stole it from Charlie, and Kent stole it from Mike.

He has the story in the store like he has everything else. We have been in there and if I could not find something I would ask. Charlie says oh yes I have what you are looking for we just have to find it .
