Size 24 Parachute Midge

Size 24 Parachute Midge

Tied by Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions.

Winter time is mid season here in the Northeast United States and this size 24 parachute Midge has worked pretty well for me the last couple of years. A simple change in thread color from white to fluorescent orange makes it far more visible on the water's surface. Although really small it's not that difficult to tie.
