The Black Nickel Bead Zebra Midge is a modern classic—simple, durable, and deadly effective for trout year-round. Designed to imitate midge pupae and larvae, this fly’s slim black body with silver ribbing provides lifelike segmentation and subtle flash. The nickel bead adds weight for a quick sink rate and a touch of shine that draws attention in deep runs and clear water.
Perfect for tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestone rivers, the Zebra Midge is a go-to when trout are feeding on small subsurface insects. The black-and-silver combination stands out in clear or cold water, making it one of the most reliable patterns during winter and early spring when midges dominate the menu.
Best for:
- Trout feeding on midge pupae or larvae
- Clear, cold, or technical water conditions
- Dropper rigs, Euro-nymph setups, or winter nymphing
📌 Pro Tip: Fish the Nickel Bead Zebra Midge as a dropper below a dry fly or behind a heavier nymph. Use 6X tippet and a dead-drift presentation to fool the most selective trout.
