Smoke fly is pretty similar to Syl's midge... one of Neme's patterns that I fish quite often.

Syl's Midge! I'd forgotten about that pattern; Nemes was the perfect voice for the renaissance of the soft hackle.

Nemes :idea:

My introduction to the Smoke Fly was in reading Nemes TWO CENTURIES OF SOFT HACKLED FLIES.
I put it on a new tying list from the book at first sight.

Hook-Dai Riki 135 #16
Thread-UTC 70 Rusty Brown
Body-Bronze Peacock
Hackle-Sharptailed Grouse

...such a great pattern, beautifully tied; it has so much more inherent dignity than a Griffith's Gnat.
