An adaptation of Ted Welling’s famous Zebra Midge, the Bead Head Zebra Midge Jig Fly is an excellent pattern for matching tiny midge pupae. Although small in size, midges are very prevalent aquatic insects that live in a variety of different water types ranging from ponds and lakes to creeks and rivers, so this is an important fly to carry almost everywhere you go. A near-exact imitation of midge pupae, the Bead Head Zebra Midge Jig Fly is an excellent choice when mimicking these little bugs, and with a construction that’s nothing more than a wire-ribbed thread body equipped with a bead head and tied on a jig style hook, you get a clean pattern that rides hook point up to prevent snags.

Perfect for anything from Euro Nymphing every pocket and seam you can find to creating the best multi-nymph setup around, this is a versatile fly that you can fish all year long. An ideal fly for winter, The Bead Head Zebra Midge Jig comes in a variety of colors so that you can effectively match the naturals wherever you’re fishing.
