Midge Emerger - Fly tying with Geoff Johnston

This 'Midge Emerger' has proved quite effective for me when used to imitate emerging midge and/or crippled midge that are trapped in the meniscus and being picked off by the trout.

Dressing:
Hook: Size 18 - 22 Tiemco 2487 or 2488
Thread: Black 8/0 Uni-Thread
Thorax: Black (Hare or Zelon) Dubbing
Wing: Black or Dark Grey CDC Feathers
Secondary Wing: Pearl Krystal Flash
