The Razor Midge is an easy-to-tie, effective foam midge pupa pattern.  Having foam in its construction it does not require any fly floatant to float the fly.

This kit includes materials to tie 24 Razor Midge flies at a fraction of the cost of buying them in a store.

 

 

 

Each kit includes:

  • 24 Premium Lightning Strike Hooks
  • 3 colors of translucent Razor Foam
  • Midge Flash
  • Dubbing
  • Clear, step-by-step fly tying instructions.

Here is an example of the instructions for tying this productive fly:
DF1 or SE1 Lightning Strike dry fly hook
70 Denier Ultra Thread
Razor Foam
Midge Flash
Super Fine Dubbing or Dubbing of your choice

Start the thread at the center of the hook shank. Take a matchstick sized piece of razor foam and trim one end to a point. Tie it onto the hook as shown. Lift up the forward portion of the foam and tie in 4 – 8 strands of midge flash in front of it. This will become the wings of your fly.

Dub the hook to just behind the eye. Divide the strands of midge flash so that you have an equal amount of strands on each side of the fly. Pull the front of the foam over the dubbed head you just formed and tie it down as shown. Whip finish to complete the fly. The fly is now finished and ready to fish.
