Description

The Zebra Midge, credited to guide Ted Wellings from Lee's Ferry, Arizona, in the 1990s, is a versatile fly designed to imitate both the pupal and nymphal stages of various aquatic insects. A classic midge pattern, the Zebra Midge has proven highly effective on the water. Typically characterized by a slender body crafted from thread or wire, it comes in various colors like black, red, or olive, making it a reliable choice for anglers targeting midge hatches across different environments.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip - When using two flies make one of them red and the other black. It's a deadly combo!
