     Christina's Bleached Blood Midge, Christina is a new fly tier and is catching on very quickly. Her skills and creativity are quite impressive when handed an idea and a selection of colors.  though simple, this is a deadly pattern that she will be fishing a lot this year. Tied in sizes 16-22, she will be nailing fish in both lakes and rivers. This fly is tied mainly for a trip she is going on in a few weeks and we will have a full report on the trip as well.
