Bloom' s Tungsten Dart

I found this pattern several years ago when fishing the Missouri River, since then, this fly has been a staple fly for the many caddis rich rivers we fish in west. A fantastic nymph to use when running through the riffles, or dragging behind a dry if that is your thing. Pattern does not require many materials, and is very simple to tie. Get a row in you caddis box going.

Midge Box

We are in the deep throws of winter and small midges rule the deep, slow 
pools that are free of ice this time of year. Time to get out and enjoy, those iced up 
guides. Fish on.......
