| C.R. Midge |
One
morning on the Crooked River in Eastern Oregon, I was fishing a dry fly over a
difficult hatch. After an hour of frustration, I decided to collect a few
specimens with my net. After my inspection, I determined that they were #16
adult midges and that the fish were taking the emergers. The only fly that I
had which resembled them was a #16 Lead Wing Coachman. I quickly clipped the
gray wing back to 3/16th of an inch. Almost at once I started to catch fish
because they were taking the emerging nymphs and not the dry fly.
