Ginger Midge

No comments yet

Easy to tie. Not fancy. But it works! We love the ginger colored ultra wire. This color looks great for ribbing midge and Baetis patterns. This is essentially a mercury midge with ginger wire. Super easy to tie. Load up your box. Try an alternate version with olive thread. You will be glad you did! We primarily use size 18-20, but larger sizes work great too.

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
