Scintilla Midge
Tying instructions
- Place bead on hook by running fine wire twice through the hole in the bead and wrapping the wire around the hook.
- Tie in tailing hackle fibers.
- Start thread and tie in copper wire, anchor down the wire and wrap back towards the bend.
- Wrap the black thread for the body, and then let the bobbin hang next to the glass bead head.
- Wrap the wire ribbing in a segmented fashion. Tie off and cut wire.
- Place a very small amount of mahogany super fine dubbing on the thread and wrap around the glass bead head. Although sparse this should cover your wire tie in points.
- Whip finish and head cement.
