John,

I will submit my Chrystal Chironomid I use for Still-water midge pupa. It has been a very good pattern in our regions lakes.

Excellent Rick !!! I have been talking to my brother Steve (Colorado Springs) when it comes to fishing on Spinney, Elevin Mile, and Antero. He was asking me as to what worked, and I told him you were the man with the knowledge. For those of you in the Colorado Springs area, Rick and Jerry will be heading up there to do a tying demonstration. I hope Jerry (Hubka) will post a few pictures of some of his Midges. Very deadly patterns (and deadly is always good) !!! We still have 2 spots on the list to fill. This is going to be the best year yet for Sno-Fly. I am very excited. So many great Midge patterns that have surfaced this year (Ok...OK Bad PUN lol).

A Winter's Mid Afternoon, and Hatching Snow Flies in the Snow Bank along the stream can be magical. A small miracle emerging from the bitter cold. Dimples of life in the stream as the trout pick off these delectable little Christmas candies and the bend of your Fly Rod as a trout takes interest in your Christmas present. Diptera Midges make up the largest piece of pie when it comes to aquatic insects in North America (over 100 species), and also many parts of the world. These morsels can be found mostly in tail waters, but don't overlook small streams and fertile lakes. You can find these morsels 365 days of the year, and yet, this is the most overlooked hatch. Since Midges (most of the species) are small, Trout are not willing to move very far to eat them. With a lot of Midges on the water, your pattern can easily be ignored. Persistance, the right pattern, accuracy and presentation are key to success. Here is a Hatch Of Snow Flies from a Snow Bank along the stream on a Winter Afternoon.
