Zebra Midge - Dill Yellow

The Dill Yellow Zebra Midge is a highly effective midge imitation, designed to target trout in both stillwater and moving water environments. Its subtle yellow coloration, combined with a segmented body and ribbing, provides a natural, lifelike profile that closely mimics emerging midge larvae. This fly is especially productive during hatches, making it an excellent choice for fishing in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams where midges are a primary food source.

Tied with premium materials, the Dill Yellow Zebra Midge features a beadhead that ensures it sinks quickly into the feeding zone. The contrast between the soft yellow body and ribbing adds subtle flash, making it visible even in slightly stained or high-water conditions. This fly excels in clear water settings where trout are selective and focused on small insect patterns.

To fish the Dill Yellow Zebra Midge 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 match the movement of emerging midges. This fly is particularly productive in colder months when midges make up the bulk of a trout’s diet.
