Zebra Midge

Zebra Midges are one of the most effective flies on the water. You can tie them in an endless number of color combinations and sizes. But black is by far the best, most popular and most effective. The zebra midge can be tied with a Tungsten Bead or a bit lighter with a clear glass bead. Either way...this fly FISHES! The tungsten beaded version make a great dropper behind dry flies too.
