The 7 Midge Patterns You Need This Winter | Ep. 162

from Untangled: Fly Fishing For Everyone | Ventures Fly Co. · host Ventures Fly Co.

Midges are a go-to fly in the winter, but how do you know which of the 8 billion midge patterns to pick? There's so many to choose from, and it feels like they're always dropping new ones, too!  Well, I took the time to simplify my own midge selection down to just a handful of patterns. Doing that helped me fish what I rig up with more confidently, but it also made choosing a fly A LOT eaiser. I spend less time worrying about my fly choice, and more time fishing. So, this week on Untangled, you'll learn what those 7 midges patterns are, and why they're the ones I so highly recommend.  You'll also learn about:  How to control your hookset so you don't end up tangled in trees and bushes How to set the hook properly so you lose fewer fish The basic skills a fly angler needs to learn in order to progress quickly The one skill every fly angler needs to posses How to tell if small rivers and streams have fish in them LINKS FROM THE SHOW Browse Our Fly Collections - CHECK THEM OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE VIDEO - How to Cast A Fly Rod - WATCH IT NOW VIDEO - How to Make A Roll Cast - WATCH IT NOW
