I had to tie up something to fill an empty row in my fly box for testing this weekend...

Super good looking midge. The Mirage should mimic the expanding gases in the emerging insect perfectly.

Well done!

Bill, I agree with Wayne! Super good looking pattern! If I took a spell and went to size 18 or 20, it would work just as well....???
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Looks like a winner to me. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
