Thanks Craig. I’m glad the step by step helped. I’m looking forward to my trip. Best of luck on the water and let me know how the maholo’s work for you.

I’ll be fish Pyramid Lake in another week, April 13-19 with a friend. I’ve always used foam beetles and wooly worms but this year I tied a few of your Maholo nymphs to try. Great job

Thanks Chris. I appreciate the kind words. It’s a great fly and I’ve tied a couple up for the small streams as well. Should do the trick here in Arizona.

Great job at showing the step by step. Nice tip on putting a hardener on after wire wrap, then finish fly. Most descriptions I’ve seen on this fly and the Maholo midges miss this step. Truly increases the life of the fly.

Rob ties these in small sizes for stream/river fishing. Pattern is also a popular steelhead fly in No. Calif. and So. Oregon.

Just fished Pyramid with Rob and other friends last Thursday. It was decent action and most effective fly was the Maholo nymph. Biggest fish was a 26″ male towards end of day. Contact me if you make it up here, I’d be happy to show you around.

Chris

Thanks David. I’m thinking it’s going to be a killer on some of the small streams here in AZ. Let me know how it fishes for you.

I have yet to try flashy bugs in stillwater. I really feel that I have to mention that you are using opposing colors. That is more brilliant than the fly itself! Love the blue and red combo. It hurts my brains…

Thanks Howard. I agree and I think I’m going to tie some up for my small stream box.
