Al's Rat, is a simple and effective midge pattern you can get. It was devised by the late Al Miller of Pa. He fished the Little Leigh every day. The pattern was designed to imitate the many midge pupa found in this river. It is a fantastic midge pupa any where. Al was a great man and one hell of fisherman. He believed in the theory and design methods of tying in the round. This of coarse means that all sides of the fly are the same, no matter what way you look, the fly is the same. I dont limit this pattern to winter. I fish it all year long.
