Hareline Midge Flash

Whether you’re stocking your box for the winter midge hatches or tying some small bonefish flies to bring to the Bahamas, Hareline’s Midge Flash is ready for it all. Midge Flash is a micro-sized version of Krystal Flash, so it has the same twisted single-strand construction as the original and all of the fish-catching sparkle. One of those versatile materials that you’ll find yourself reaching for, whether you’re stocking the midge, nymph, streamer, or crustacean box, Hareline’s Midge Flash comes in a variety of colors, so you can find an option for any pattern. It’s sure to enhance the look of any fly you add it to.

Uses

Midge Flash is used anytime you’re looking to add a flashy element to smaller-sized flies. Because it is finer than the regular Krystal Flash, this material works very well for tying smaller patterns such as midges, nymphs, scuds, as well as streamers and crustaceans for bonefish.

Comparisons 

If you’re looking for another flash material that’s great for smaller flies, then Flashabou’s Micro Flashabou is a solid alternative. Micro Flashabou is a micro size of Flashabou, making it an equally good choice when tying nymphs, midges, small streamers, or small crustaceans. The main difference between these two materials, however, is that Micro Flashabou is flat while Midge Flash is twisted, so depending on your desired look, one may be a better option.
