Hook: Shrimp #16-#24
Thread: Orange 6/0
Head:Silver Glass Bead
Body:Orange Thread
Wings:Krystal Flash

Tying Instructions:
Place the appropriate sized bead on your hook. Then attach the orange thread and cover the hook with it, making sure to cover quite a ways back on the hook shank. Then wrap the thread to just behind the bead. Attach the two strips of Krystal Flash so that they stick out over the top of the hook. There should be more orange thread wrapped around just behind the bead, almost to make it seem like a head.

Fly Information:
This is a very quick and easy fly to tie. I have fished this fly with some success on the Bighorn River in Montana. It is meant to imitate the midges and orange is a very popular color when imitating midges.
