The Zebra Midge: a winter fly that saves slow days
It’s just thread, wire and a bead, and it might be the most reliable winter fly ever tied.
Why such a simple fly works
Midges live in almost every trout river and lake, and they hatch all year, even in the middle of winter.
How to rig it
Fish the Zebra Midge under an indicator, set so the fly drifts just off the bottom, on 5X or 6X tippet.
