D-Midge Fly Pattern

Had a chance to sit down and watch my good friend Dennis Miller tie a few of his signature patterns

this past Saturday at Charlie's Fly Box. Dennis is a true gentleman, and always puts on a very nice

and informative show. Along with several of his very effective patterns, Dennis tied his D-Midge Pattern, a staple in the Umpqua Fly Catalog.

If you are in the nieghborhood of the Taylor or Upper Gunnison River in the spring and summer months, you need to visit Dennis at the Willow Creek Flyshop, at Three River Resort in Almont, CO.

Dennis runs the flyshop during the summer.
