Tying The Goober Midge with Kelly Galloup

This is an updated version on a video we did 7 years ago on how to tie Kelly's Goober Midge. This fly has become our go-to adult midge imitation on just about every piece of water we take it and is extremely easy to tie.

Size 18 has been a savior on grayling for me here in Sweden, especially in the autumn when its pretty cold outside, great fly!

Nice tie Kelly. Always enjoy your in-depth explanations and the antenna tie-off is something I will endeavor to replicate. Thanks from down-under in NZ.

[@nathanmumford1277]

My favorite tip in this video is how you use the way the hackle is tied off to create the antenna. Cool tip!

[@surthrivingalaska2511]

Nice. A griffiths gnat with a size large hackle seems to be about the best dry fly I have found for arctic grayling in interior Alaska. I will have to tie a few of these up and give them a go. Thanks for your making your videos and sharing all your knowledge.

I dig the name

[@fransjooste2331]

Hi Kelly. Great little fly as always. Have you ever thought of or tried mixing some pearl Spectra/Prism dubbing in with the Superfine for some more reflection?

[@deankrueger7178]

Incredible as always. Your technique and control are stunning! Thanks again for taking your time to share with us all!!! Keep them coming!

[@ghart91]

I have learned from you so much about dubbing. You stated spinning your dubbing clock wise! Why? Does it make a difference if you spin it that way or counter clockwise, as long as you do same direction all the time.

[@nathanmumford1277]

What sizes do you like to have in your box?

[@TheSlideinn]

18-22

[@boydgravesvlogs2562]

Are you still doing the countess on the fly

[@Havsnsnd]

What about setting the camera over your other shoulder? Jeremy might yell less

[@TheSlideinn]

We tried it, you cant see the materials getting set. I got another camera just for that occasion now... should be less yelling! -Jeremy

[@imaxfli]

What size was this...can't read the package?

[@TheSlideinn]

We do them in 18 and 20, I might have done this one on a 16 to see it better?? Kelly

[@imaxfli]

And...you didn't pull that hackle off to the side.....or "draw it back".... you just caught a couple for that antenae.
