How to tie the No Mercy Midge with Umpqua Signature tyer Phil Iwane 

I fish this style dry 95% of the time. With only the CDC above the water and the body / abdomen below the surface. Fantastic fly. Easily tied. 5 % of the time fished with another dry and let it do what ever. Be surprised how many you can catch this way.

@@randydeskins9359 Thank You! Really appreciate the quick response!

I fish this under an indicator set up as my last fly

@@claytonballerine2280 Try it as a dry fly with the body / abdomen under the surface. I pinch the hook , tippet , and brush froggs Fanny dust only on the cdc. If I get floatant on the tippet I use zink to make it sink. Our trout see a lot of flies and are very tippet shy. It’s a great fly. Tight lines, Randy

@@claytonballerine2280 Hi Clayton. Can you explain. I am wondering if this is ever fished as a nymph, toward the bottom or mid-column.

I've ties it in black with good results
