CDC Hanging Midge
- Size 22-18 1XL Dry Fly Hook
- 8/0 Black Thread
- Black Antron Dubbing
- Olive CDC Oiler Puffs
This fly works great for the larger midges found on the lower reaches of the Bitterroot and Clark Fork. It is a million times more effective than some more complicated flies. You can tie up a dozen of these before you even finish a beer. They also work for emerging baetis. Since those two hatches overlap and happen in both the spring and the fall, this fly is a real asset to have in your box! My first fish on the dry of 2014 fell to this guy yesterday in a scum line near Lolo. That is a solid month later than when this normally happens. We usually are fishing midge dries by Valentines Day.
