Pure Midge Larvea

Recipe:

Hook: Tiemco 2457,2488,2499

Thread: UTC 70 (olive) or color you desire

Body: Clear Micro Tubbing (stretch)

Head: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

Tying Instructions:

Step 1.

Start the thread right behind the eye.

Step 2.

Cut about six inches of micro tubing and tie it in at the front.

Step 3.

Now tie the tubing to the bend. Stretch the tubing as you wind to the back. Advance the thread back up to the eye.

Step 4.

Go ahead and cut the tubing off the front. I add a little tension on the tubing as I make the cut so I don't have a little tag end after I make the cut.

Step 5.

Wrap the tubing forward over the thread base with each wrap touching the next. Tie the tubing off just behind the eye.

Step 6.

Coat the thread head with a layer of hard as nails.
