Without a doubt, Mr. Craven is one of the VERY BEST at fly tying and explaining the details to a beginner. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills you have
Small tip. Instead of running the thread forward, I leave it at the bend of the hook. I then put the body wraps behind the hanging thread. The thread acts to hold the body materials back and acts like a third hand. If the body wrap gets out of line a bit, I loosen up my hold on the material and use the hanging bobbin thread as a way to push the body material back down the previous wrap. Very fast and makes perfect bodies. This is a great go to midge pattern - killer invention Charlie - you're the best. You've caught me a lot of fish with this one and your scud and the mole is killer as well. come to think of it - a lot of your stuff is my "go to" stuff.
I got lucky and found an auction of like 30 packs of various super hair for cheap. I have noticed a few of them are thicker and easier to work with. No labels on those ones unfortunately so dunno the brand, might just by older. I wish they were all like that, but I can make the thinner stuff work. I got so much super hair now though😆
Great instruction and tips, Nice to know how the name came about, lol, I thought the name came from the jujubes candy that sticks to your teeth - a fly that sticks in a fish's teeth. Thanks for all the great patterns and tutorials!
Trygve Stærkær a variation of this pattern, called the Jumbo Juju Chironomid, would likely be a better bet but if you’re fishing small patterns in your waters I’m sure this would do it too.

Great video, Charlie. Can’t wait to see you do a jumbo juju version.
They are money in the bank , just used then on the Missouri this week . Midges everywhere 🦟
I need to keep working with the Super Hair since it’s not working for me like this. 😅
Charley, have you ever epoxied that wing case and body like on a copper john?
wyomingtrout I’ve tried it, but if you epoxy over the fluoro-fiber it pretty much disappears.
Hard to count Floro fibers.
Charlie - I have supreme hair. Is that the equivalent to Super Hair?
Absolutely. Exact same stuff.
Nice video. Can you use this fly for stillwater too when midges area hatching? Thank you from Norway for this very good videos.
