Segmentation on midge flies can be very enticing to the local trout. When you are creating a midge body, or any aquatic bug that has a segmented body, try using micro tubing and leave a little space in-between the wraps. This really gives the fly a nice look, and so far in my stream testing the fish think so too.

i use mono to rib and make seg. when tying my flies, and its alot easier on the scissors
brillin ~ I tie midge larva in every color thread I own. Pupa I stick to the basic midge adult colors. The better larva colors have been olive, black, light brown, tan, purple, and red. I usually take a stream sample whenever I fish, and choose the fly and color from that.
