Yes, the Zebra Midge! This is one of the old faithful flies, and can be particularly effective in small sizes on big fish. During a CWA trip earlier this year our members found that the zebra midge was the one fly the fish couldn’t resist. Zebra midges are commonly tied in red or black with a thin wire, but they can also be tied in shades of brown and green. Swap a brass or tungsten bead with a glass one for a very lightweight fly that is killer on a dual nymph setup.
