Here we will be tying a hybrid of two flies, the Watson's Fancy as a nymph, and the famous Zebra Midge. I (and probably some other fly tiers before me) came up with this pattern few years ago. I decided to try to mix these colours together since they work excellent for the Arctic char here in Iceland. And BINGO! This fly works great when the fish is picky. I always keep this fly in my box while fishing, in the hook size of 12-18. It saved me few times from being skunked that day fishing. So I think this simple fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing. The fly catches both brown trout and arctic char. Simple to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing!
