Zebra Midge - Black

The Black Zebra Nymph is a highly effective and versatile midge imitation that excels in both stillwater and moving water environments. With its sleek black body and silver ribbing, this fly closely resembles natural midge larvae, making it a go-to choice when trout are keyed in on small aquatic insects. Its realistic segmentation and subtle flash make it irresistible to fish, especially during midge hatches in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams.

Tied with premium materials, the Black Zebra Nymph features a beadhead that adds weight, allowing it to sink quickly into the feeding zone. The contrast between the dark body and bright ribbing makes it highly visible in various water conditions, ensuring it remains effective even in slightly stained or high-water situations.

To fish the Black Zebra Nymph effectively, use it in a tight-line or indicator nymphing setup, casting upstream and allowing it to drift naturally. 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 cooler months when midges dominate the trout’s diet.
