Iridescent Root Beer Midge

(4 products)

Materials Needed for the Iridescent Root Beer Midge tied by Ryan Gabert in our YouTube fly tying video. 

The Iridescent Root Beer Midge has been a top producing pattern here in the Black Hills this winter. We have also had success fishing this fly on the Bighorn River and North Platte. Typically tied in sizes 18-20, but can be tied in larger sizes for lakes and stillwater. Ryan has found that the root beer color pattern is a great go to, but the color can be changed to suit different conditions. Olive, Red, and Black are worth tying.
