The Zebra midge is by far my favorite of all the midges.

Do you throw those? I'm a fan of the zebra midge 18-20 all year long. If things slow down, it usually will catch a fish. They are are staple of a fishes diet...

I had read about swinging a nymph but it just seemed so out of the ordinary from what the rules of nymphing teach you - drag free! The idea of swinging just sounded preposterous. Glad to see that it really works!BrookfieldAnglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07990751656565622220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-71045992999574356842014-04-06T10:26:21.694-04:002014-04-06T10:26:21.694-04:00Howard
