phil, looking for advice on how to rig balanced flies on a midge tip to avoid having to bring a bobber for stillwater fishing (or when they're not allowed, eg comp fishing). would i be better off hanging it under a big dry fly instead?

Hi, great quesiton. When fishing balanced and jig flies without indicators in a cast and strip fashion, I would place the heavier balanced fly on the point. I would have my other flies in the team hanging of separate droppers. You can certainly hang them under a large dry too. Balanced flies are not allowed in completions any more, but jig flies are. Loop knots are also not allowed. If you use a clinch, 16/20, or Davey Knot, and tighten it, so the tippet angles back towards the hook point, the fly will ride horizontally. I hope this helps, Cheers, Phil

I feel like there’s no way the knot stays in that position during casting and retrieving. Why not just use a regular non-slip loop knot and allow the fly to pitch and jig better while the current, chop, or retrieve imparts action? Genuinely curious. I haven’t done any side-by-side comparisons myself.

You could certainly use a non slip loop knot. Especially when the waters surface is choppy. I use a 16/20 knot which holds well when I don’t use a loop knot. I prefer to use a roll cast when using indicators and the knot seems to hold well. There are times I have to reset it from time to time if I am too aggressive with my casting. Cheers Phil

Hi Phill, do you think that it could be a plankton pattern too? (From Chile 🇨🇱)

Very nice fly, what was the hackle?

Thanks. It is grizzly dyed burnt orange. I also use olive grizzly too. You can find the complete recipe in the description section below the video. Cheers, Phil

I use this any time trout are feeding on Sam scuds and don’t seem interested in a retrieved fly. I have used this fly on BC and other provinces and states too. Cheers, Phil
