This is a great dropper fly in lakes where there are populations of midge and my good mate Peter Walsh, who first came up with particular tie, fishes it with plenty of confidence and results. It's a lot like my Bibio variant except that the dominant colours are black and orange as apposed to back and red and it is tied without a front hackle.{{end}}

{{+1}}Bibio variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
Whilst the Bibio fly may have been originally designed as a blow fly representation it has found its place as a great top dropper fly in lakes where fish are midge feeders. That of course begs the question do fish take them as midges, or do they take them as some other insect more like a fly, but which spends part of its life cycle in the water, that just happens to hatch as the same time as a midge?{{end}}
