The Zebra Midge is an easy to tie and deadly fly pattern. The zebra midge is a great pattern for beginning fly tiers. Start by tying them in larger sizes (size14-16) and progress to tying them in smaller sizes (18-22). Vary the color of thread to create endless varieties of this essential midge pattern. Tungsten beads can be used in place of the brass bead and lead wire.

Nothing...

Sometimes trout and grayling sip "nothing" from the surface. You have tried the smallest parachute in your fly box - size 18. What they are taking is much smaller. You look again into your fly box, and right - there is no "Nothing" there.

Since you got this far …

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
