Zebra Midge Red

The Zebra Midge Red is a highly effective fly pattern that imitates the nymphs of midges, a crucial food source for trout and other freshwater species. Tied with a red body, typically made from thread or wire, and ribbed with silver or copper wire, this fly mirrors the slender, segmented appearance of midge larvae. The beadhead helps the fly sink quickly, making it ideal for deep runs and fast-moving currents. The Zebra Midge Red is a versatile pattern, especially effective during midge hatches in clear water, and is a must-have for anglers targeting trout and other species that feed on small, aquatic insects.
