The Graveyard Midge was originated by our friend John Wood, who designed it specifically for Tailwater situations.  It has become the new ‘go to’ Midge pupa for guides and anglers on the Bighorn River.  The Bighorn can be tied in a multitude of color combinations and they all work!  We have the Graveyard Midge available to purchase on our online store as well, for those non-tyers.  Read more...
