Frank Smethurst demonstrates a midge that he developed during his days guiding in Southwest Colorado on the San Juan, Uncompaghre, Dolores, and Gunnison. This fly has some technical elements and is great for sight fishing in clear water. This midge incorporates materials that most fly tiers have but don’t think to use and is a quick and easy tie.
