Zebra Midge - Purple

The Purple Zebra Midge is a highly effective midge imitation designed to entice trout in both stillwater and moving water environments. Its deep purple body, accented with silver ribbing, creates a natural segmentation that mimics emerging midge larvae. The darker coloration makes it especially effective in low-light conditions or when fishing slightly stained waters, providing just the right amount of contrast to draw attention from feeding trout.

Tied with premium materials, the Purple Zebra Midge features a beadhead for added weight, ensuring it sinks quickly into the strike zone. The combination of its sleek body and reflective ribbing enhances its visibility, making it an excellent option during midge hatches when trout are focused on smaller insect patterns.

To fish the Purple Zebra Midge effectively, use it in a tight-line or indicator nymphing setup, allowing it to drift naturally through the water column. In stillwater, suspend it under a strike indicator or retrieve it slowly at varying depths to imitate an emerging midge. This fly is particularly productive in the colder months when midges dominate a trout’s diet, but it remains a reliable pattern year-round.
