Chris,
Midges often clump up on the water, and the fish know this. So, if you're having problems tying on small hooks, try this.
Start with a #16 or #18 fine-wire hook, and tie two midges on it. It's easier for you to tie, and can be just as effective when fishing.
If you're really good (says the man who doesn't tie dries at all), you can tie one of them upright, and one of them spent wing, for even greater attractiveness.
