Killing time while camping and tying a few flies...

For my fellow fly tying fisherman

Looks like a great combo and some of the largest trout I have caught have come from a midge. Midges, pheasant tail, and wooly bugger are the only flies I learned how to tie since that is what I fish with probably 90% of the time.
Nice work PeytonCreek but I don't think midges like to be called midges anymore. They prefer "little flies". 
Do you use any kind of loops or magnification when tying those little fellas like that?

Fished below Center Hill dam yesterday morning, we are campong at Longbranch Campground. I missed one fish, a buddy of mine caught 2 brown's and missed one, another buddy caught 1 brown. Lots of fish rising but not very many takers.
I came out after about 2 hours. My waders started leaking! Ordered a new pair and I'm driving home to get them. Going to fish the next couple of days.

Did Mr. Midget tell you this? I bumped into him about 6 weeks ago when I was out at the lease.Nice work PeytonCreek but I don't think midges like to be called midges anymore. They prefer "little flies".

Lol.....He's actually pretty big for a Midget. I call him Hugh Midget. I hear he has a little brother though.

As of now no magnification is used but it's coming.... LOL
It took me about 20 tries to thread my tippet in the eye of the midge I fished with. 60 year old eyes have to have help!
a wire loop needle threader works wonders.
