Zak, I must have five hundred different midge emergers! I’ve really noticed on a lot of lakes, when they first break surface tension and freshly hatch, a lot of them have orange bodies due to hemoglobin. I tie them from #18 scud hooks to #12 dry fly hooks. My favorite is tied with a paraloop grizzly hackle, choice of body color (orange, black or gray mostly) and either a tiny grizzly hackle tip or black/white verigated rod wrapping thread for a trailing shuck….whew! I also use 7x tippet……

Thanks for the look into your fly box!
 
@Bambooflyguy has more flies in his box than I have in ALL of my fly boxes combined.

Bows to him for making me feel ______.
