The Zebra Midge is probably is one of the most popular flies around the world. It's simple to tie, is weighted and represents a midge pupa or emerger quite well. It can be tied in a number of different colors, from black like I tied here today, to olive (for a BWO or even caddis pupa), red (for an annelid), even colors like chartreuse, hot pink, what have you. Any color thread you have, you can tie it that color. You can also change up the bead color and the wire color as well.
