MTFF – Fly Of The Month – KF Midge

February 26th, 2008 Buster

About two years ago I started a Fly Of The Month (FOTM) program for Middle Tennessee Fly Fishers. The FOTM covers all type of trout and bass flies, covering larva, pupa, nymph, and adult stages of caddis flies, midges, stoneflies, mayflies, as well as streamers.

If you go to the website, you will see something like the following. The photo is downloadable if you wish to keep a copy for you own use at home. Not until recently, I have been including a PDF of the pattern and photo of the fly, also for available for download. Please check out the website if you get a chance. The FOTM is under “Fishing Forums”, then click “Fly Tying” and you will see “February 2008 – Fly Of The Month – KF Midge”.

As I continue to update the MTFF Fly Of The Month program, I will update Outdoorzy too. I hope that all of you find this fly as well at the upcoming flies useful for your fly fishing trips. At some point, I will try to update the website with the past flies from the program.

The Fly Of The Month for February 2008 is the KF Midge. The KF Midge is an effective pattern when fishing it alone during a midge hatch or as a dropper under a nymph. Please check out the MTFF website for a photo and the pattern for the fly as well as a downloadable PDF of the pattern with photo.
