RECIPE FOR GLO-LITE SERIES MIDGE EMERGER (originator & tyer: John Larson)


Hook: Daiichi 1120 (size 18) or hook equivalent
Thread: Color to match midge
Standard Tubeing (small): color to match midge
Crystal flash: Color to match midge
Glass Midge Bead: Color to match midge
CDC: Color to match midge
Step 1 : Put on bead at head of hook (I use a foundation of thread and superglue to secure bead)
Step 2 : Take a small length of small Standard (hollow) tubeing; follow the length measurement of
midge emerger species you are trying to imitate. Take a hot needle and lightly cauterize
one end. Insert crystal flash inside hollow tube and clip that end even !!! Tie onto hook
Step 2 is a multi-step for main body.
Step 3: Behind bead take 1/2 half CDC Oiler Puff (Color to match midge species) and tie forward
behind bead head.
Step 4: Dub Lite Brite (Or even Ice Dub) Color to match midge species on thorax (lightly dub) up to
slightly behind Bead.
Step 5: Tie in (figure 8) small section of crystal flash behind bead (make sure there are two light
dots on each side of midge head, and clip each side to that spec.)
Last Step: Whip finish, and grab a cold beer.......You now have a killer midge emerger for your box
You will want to tie up plenty in different colors !!!!


*** The Glo-Lite Series captures the three dimensional, transparent and color light refracted effect of the midge emerger in water (just under the surface film). I came to this idea of design after spending much time observing midge emergers on the water in my float tube, and after watching the amazeing photography of Ralph and Lisa Cutter (Bugs Of The Underworld).
Once you see this pattern in the sunlight and in the water, you will see what I mean !!! This pattern series is a little less then a year old, but already is tested and has proved its worth on the water !!!!
