Tying the Ruby Midge (Video)

The Ruby Midge


            The Ruby is one of my favorite low-water midge patterns.  It’s a great search pattern in smaller pocket water or boulder fields. I like to fish it fairly tight-lined and actually pull it through and around boulders, along shelves and through the heads of smaller riffles and plunge pools. It is also an exceptional dropper pattern for a tandem rig.
