How to Tie a Peg’s Midge

November 13, 2016 By: Marshall Cutchin

The Peg’s Midge is featured in this week’s fly tying video.  As Tim Flagler notes, ” at this time of year, often what appear to be emerger rises are actually trout taking adult midges on the water’s surface. Trout get their top jaw just barely out of the water for only a split second to take the adult midge. It can be very difficult to see this with the naked eye.”  The Peg’s Midge is a perfect choice for imitating those tiny flies that appear in late fall.
