The San Juan - Dryrod - 12-21-2007
[center][cool][font "Pristina"][green][size 4]Last night Jude Duran was our guest tier and speaker at our monthly club meeting. He's the owner & guide to fishing on the San Juan. 90% of all the flies they use are smaller than a size 20. He tied this 26 midge for me. I don't think that I could thread this sucker even with the magnetic threader. Though I will try this latter on. The fly is built on a Daiichi # 1130 hook., black 8/0 thread, a bit of fine dubbing & flashabou for wings. I'm sure that FGD would think that this fly is too big. LOL[
] Heck I dropped it on the floor and found several beads, hooks before I finally located it. Where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him?[/size][/green][/font] [/center]

I have that fly in my fly box. Black with copper or silver wire.
On my page showing the flies I tied for the fly swap there is a link to Jude Duran's website which has a number of detailed instructions for flies.

[font "Pristina"][green][size 4][cool]Believe that fly is called a KF Wing Midge Emerger. The wire he uses is so thin that I had trouble seeing it as he passed it along to those of us watching to test it's strength. Surprisingly the French import is quite strong. Yes his recipe calls for either copper or silver wire.[/size][/green][/font]

Yes, That or just the KF Midge. CRS attack again.
I tied mine with Flashabou though instead of KF.
