Zebra Midge

Few flies have earned their place in the box as decisively as the Zebra Midge. Simple, slim, and devastatingly effective, this pattern is a must-have for any angler who fishes tailwaters, spring creeks, or anywhere trout key in on midges. When the fish are being picky and the water is clear, the Zebra Midge is the answer.

Simple by Design. Deadly by Nature.

You're on a cold tailwater in January, fish stacked in a slow seam, barely moving. You drop a Zebra Midge to the bottom and dead drift it through the pod. The indicator twitches. You lift. Fish on. That's the Zebra Midge — no flash, no fuss, just a perfect imitation of what the trout are eating.

• Classic black thread body with fine silver wire segmentation
• Small bead head for weight and attraction
• Slim, precise profile that perfectly imitates midge larvae and pupae
• Proven producer on tailwaters, spring creeks, and slow clear pools
• Effective year-round, especially during winter and early spring midge hatches
• Hand-tied for quality and consistency
• Delicate wing added for a subtle flash that attracts selective trout

Fish it deep under an indicator, as a dropper off a dry, or tight-line style in slow water. The Zebra Midge is one of those rare flies that just works — every time, everywhere.
