Peg’s Midge, Size 26
ByJo TangoPeg’s Midge is a dry fly. I was intrigued the moment Tim Flagler made it in a size 26 during his recent fly-tying seminar. I like the fly because it uses few materials: some cream hackle, a hook, and a peacock herl. So, I took a shot at making a few. I used some Orvis…
