Portage, PA Posts: 219	My interests have returned to midge fishing again for the late fall and winter. Anybody care to share any of their favorite pupa or larva patterns? I've tied flies from the Midge Magic book by Koch and Holbrook and have had success with several of their patterns. Bruce

	I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without having felt sorry for itself.

	Falsifly When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
