It's called Byron's midge because Byron Sargeant is a fishing friend who
suggested that this pattern would work for what we saw..I tied it up and it
worked great in our area. Because it is made with UV dub, which is a
naturally floating synthetic, no floatant is needed. We just throw it to

Hi Joyce;
Love how you used the starling feather, I think the yellow tipped starling
feather has a lot of uses, I made a spider variant where I tied a starling
feather in by the tip as a tail and used the remainder to hackle a peacock
herl body.

What a good idea..I've never used starling as a tail but I use it a lot like
jungle cock eyes for tiny black dries. Joyce

I will jump in here with the thread re: my burned-wing Adams. I love to fish
the dries, and there are not many as effective as the Adams. I have tried lots
of materials for all the parts of the fly. Nothing new here. I am using
burned wings now (which I take from Indian necks) on mayflies
Wayne,
Bring me one when you come to the Sowbug. Wish we could Joyce to come out too.

Don, have you ever gap wrapped or rope dubbed any steelhead fllies. I've a
bunch of purple perils to tie, and I'm thinking that rope dubbing them would
be quicker and look as good as the standard chenille and yarn type bodies.
What do you think? Joyce

Hi Larry;
Great idea on the burned wing feathers, as with the others I admire the rope
dubbing effect.

Joyce,
I have some purple seal and I will give it a shot at a gap-wrap over a silver
wrapped base.
I have purple spey grizzly, but no purple squirrel. shukkins.

Check this out, ever since the rope dub swap I've been searching for a
source of the dubbing I used. It was a old box from Al Neimic of
Chicopee, MA, but I noticed a little lable about possum blend.

Joyce,
I use Australian 'possum all the time- just love it. Have a bad of all
kinds of pieces.
With the rope-dub, I can get as many 'looks' as I want, plus I can take the
dub off of different places on the animal to get more different looks. See
the rope-dubbed flies on my website.

Thanks Wayne. The wing is very easy, especially compared to using a grizzly
hackle tip. The rope dub is much easier and faster than I imagined...
