M.F.C. Thread Midges

Last Sunday I spent the day knocking out midges on the vise with a new threads from Montana Fly Company. I had ordered a mess of Midge Thread and Oval Thread and have found that they make really flashy looking midge bodies. Toss a little black dubbing on the top and they're done.

A days worth of work and five dozen midges later.

The Midge Thread is full of flash and gives the bodies a neat look. The Rainbow or Dark threads with black mixed into the flash color are especially nice.

The Oval Thread lays down nicely on the hook shank for a very even midge body. The Black/Color threads reminded me very much of twist threads used for wrapping fly rods.

I am looking forward to tying more midges and then doing some "field work" on a midge friendly stream I fish in North Carolina.

Check out the Montana Fly Company website for more information on the threads along with a host of other innovative fly tying materials, tools, and accessories.
