How to tie the ULTIMATE midge pattern

The France Midge is a pattern of mine that I came up with after the success I have had with the France Fly. The micro tubing used is perfect for making small, thin and realistic midges. The tubing comes in many colors so you can tailor the colors to match the midges that you encounter on the stream.

This has actually replaced the classic Zebra Midge for me. I know it sounds blasphemous, but it simply fishes better.

Tie some France Midges up...it's going to work for you!

Tight lines!
