Zebra Midge - Red

The Red Zebra Midge is a highly versatile and effective fly pattern designed to imitate various aquatic insects, particularly midge larvae. Its simple yet realistic design makes it a must-have for anglers fishing in both stillwater and moving water environments. This fly shines during midge hatches, making it an excellent choice for fishing in lakes and ponds, while its vibrant red color ensures visibility in murky water or high-water conditions.

Tied with premium materials, the Red Zebra Midge features a segmented body and ribbing that closely resembles natural midge larvae, making it irresistible to trout and other freshwater species. The beadhead design helps the fly sink quickly, allowing it to reach feeding zones efficiently, whether fished on its own or as part of a multi-fly nymphing rig.

To fish the Red Zebra Midge effectively, use it in a tight-line or indicator nymphing setup, casting upstream and letting it drift naturally with the current. In stillwater, suspend it under a strike indicator or slowly retrieve it at varying depths to entice feeding fish. This fly is particularly productive during colder months when midges are a primary food source for trout.
