This fly has been put to the test on tricky tailwater fisheries such as Cheeseman’s Canyon on the South Platte and the Dream Stream. Unlike other midges, this fly doesn’t have a bead head, so some weight on your leader or tippet is required to keep it down past the surface. It also works well as a dropper fly off of a dry fly when fish are spooky and you don’t want to land an indicator in their vicinity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20, 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eColors Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"20 \/ Gray","offer_id":48649943384297,"sku":"SKU052857198041-SM043","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"22 \/ Gray","offer_id":48477494640873,"sku":"SKU052857198058-SM045","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-chironoflash-midge-pupa-fly-1199967026.jpg?v=1761919929"},{"product_id":"chrome-chironomid-fly","title":"Chrome Chironomid Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Chrome Chironomid features a flashy take on a typical stillwater nymph.

These flies are available in a variety of sizes so you can match the hatch on your favorite pond or lake. They’re tied on a sharp, strong hook with a white bead head to give them a lifelike profile. The bead sinks the fly quickly so you can target trout on deeper water shelves. This fly works best when fished under an indicator or with a slow stillwater strip and should be fished wherever trout are cruising shorelines or shelves. This small nymph could also be used as a dropper off of a Calibaetis dry fly or a number of other popular stillwater dry flies.

And although midges are often tiny and can be frustrating to fish, it doesn't mean that large trout don't eat them, and that's why the Tungsten Zebra Midge is a fly that should be in your box all year long, especially in the staple colors of olive, brown, red, and black.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSince midges are so common, there's never really a wrong time to fish the Tungsten Zebra Midge, and they almost always make a great dropper fly in a two or three-fly nymphing system. However, winter can be a great time to fish the Tungsten Zebra Midge as midges remain active all year, unlike other aquatic insects. Dead drifting this midge under an indicator or on a tight line is always a great choice, and you can confidently fish the Tungsten Zebra Midge whether you're staring down a slow riffle, large pool, or even your local stillwater pond. Midges are everywhere and fish pay attention to them at all times.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eColors Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack, Black Silver Bead, Black\/copper, Olive, Purple, Red, Rusty Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eSizes Available:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16, 18, 20, 14, 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"14 \/ Black","offer_id":48478373609705,"sku":"SKU052857097047-SM033","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16 \/ Olive","offer_id":48478373708009,"sku":"SKU052857118230-SM029","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 \/ Black","offer_id":48478373642473,"sku":"SKU052857119183-SM030","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16 \/ Black\/Copper","offer_id":48478373675241,"sku":"SKU052857117462-SM038","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16 \/ Purple","offer_id":48478373740777,"sku":"SKU052857255430-SM028","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 \/ Red","offer_id":48478373773545,"sku":"SKU052857118957-SM027","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 \/ Rusty Brown","offer_id":48478373806313,"sku":"SKU052857119213-SM019","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Olive","offer_id":48478373904617,"sku":"SKU052857118247-SM025","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Black","offer_id":48478373839081,"sku":"SKU052857119190-SM042","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"18 \/ Black\/Copper","offer_id":48478373871849,"sku":"SKU052857117479-SM026","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Purple","offer_id":48478373937385,"sku":"SKU052857255447-SM043","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Red","offer_id":48478373970153,"sku":"SKU052857118964-SM044","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 \/ Rusty Brown","offer_id":48478374002921,"sku":"SKU052857119220-SM021","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Olive","offer_id":48478374101225,"sku":"SKU052857118254-SM046","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Black","offer_id":48478374035689,"sku":"SKU052857119206-SM023","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20 \/ Black\/Copper","offer_id":48478374068457,"sku":"SKU052857117486-SM045","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Purple","offer_id":48478374133993,"sku":"SKU052857255454-SM047","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Red","offer_id":48478374166761,"sku":"SKU052857118971-SM020","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 \/ Rusty Brown","offer_id":48478374199529,"sku":"SKU052857119237-SM048","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22 \/ Olive","offer_id":48478373576937,"sku":"SKU052857097009","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"22 \/ Black","offer_id":48478374232297,"sku":"SKU052857097054-SM049","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22 \/ Purple","offer_id":48478374265065,"sku":"SKU052857255461-SM018","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-tungsten-zebra-midge-fly-1199953632.jpg?v=1761915020"},{"product_id":"two-bit-midge-fly","title":"Two Bit Midge Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis small midge is an improvement on the Zebra Midge.
