@MrArcticFox have you found a u shaped pattern for a midge? I have scoured the net with no results, not sure what I would tie. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Midges are NOT mosquitoes; however many midges DO bite. No-see-ums, sand flies, white socks, etc are all biting midges.

Mosquitoes are in the "Midge" family. There are many types of midges. Great video.

[DrewGibsonUK]

The Scottish Midge will bite. Only the females do this, and for those who attract them (I do), it can be painful and bloody due to the sheer number of bites you can get if unprotected.

[BrownTrout117]

I know I was talking about the grey, black and olive midges, the most common type over here in the us of a.

[Freshhhhh1982]

I hate midges with all my heard. Blood sucking little cunts

[BrownTrout117]

dude, a midge doesnt suck blood like its close relative, the mosquito. It is comonly mistaken to be a mosquito because they are so similar.

[Freshhhhh1982]

There are a number of different species that are commonly refered to as midges. The variety that live in Ireland and Scotland do suck blood.

[Lojikbom]

Not that I've seen. They swarm bad around Cleveland, but I haven't been bitten. I think some species bite tho. Wikipedia has a good article on them.

[Freshhhhh1982]

Yes and they can drive a grown man to tears.

Great Video. Fantastic footage. Makes me want to get out on the river and catch a lunker.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

Couldn't agree more -- fantastic video. The best of its type that I've seen. Made a number of things clear to me that I had not previously understood. Superb photography and narration.

Considering the technical challenge and required patience necessary to make this happen, this is an excellent video to see midge emergence in real time.
