Sipping Midge - Size 20 2X Hook (Equivalent to Size 22)

I have begun tying parachute flies with a different method of tying off the hackle which does not leave a messy head. I always hated the messy head on parachutes tied down in the traditiional method.

This is a size 20 floating midge pattern.




Also tied a size 20 Blue Winged Olive emerger in a paraloop style.


This pattern is the "Bottle Washer" suggested by Jason Borger








These are a couple of patterns I tied up this morning. Am sure someone has tied them before, but I haven't seen them.
