Beadhead Zebra Midge

The Beadhead Zebra Midge fly pattern is a type of fly pattern used in fly fishing to imitate midge larvae, which are an important food source for trout and other fish.

It is a highly effective pattern, particularly in slow-moving or still water where midges are abundant.

The BH Zebra Midge fly pattern typically consists of a small hook, thread, and various types of materials such as wire, peacock herl, and a small bead to create the head of the fly.

Anglers typically tie the fly in sizes ranging from #14 to #24 and can fish it alone or in combination with other flies.

The beadhead adds weight to the fly, allowing it to sink quickly to the desired depth. The midge pattern and small size make it an excellent choice for imitating small aquatic insects. This is especially so when fish are feeding on or near the bottom of the water column.

When fishing with a Beadhead Zebra Midge, it is important to use light tippet material and a delicate presentation. This is to avoid spooking the fish.

Anglers can fish the fly using a variety of techniques. These include techniques such as dead drifting, slow retrieves, or sight fishing in clear water.

Overall, the Beadhead Zebra Midge is a highly effective and versatile fly pattern. Anglers can use it in a variety of fishing situations, particularly in still or slow-moving water abundant with midges.

Usually available in the following hook sizes: 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24
