Beads

Midges

For this "Two Minute Tying" tutorial, I selected a great fly for any level of tyer, the Zebra Midge. In this pattern, tied is the color olive, of which the color is paired with a gold tungsten bead and thin copper wire. When tying black, gray, or cream Zebra Midges, I will switch the bead and wire to a silver color. Thanks for viewing this tutorial, and feel free to leave comments on this YouTube page or email me:

Watsons Zebra

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.

Ginger Midge

Easy to tie. Not fancy. But it works! We love the ginger colored ultra wire. This color looks great for ribbing midge and Baetis patterns. This is essentially a mercury midge with ginger wire.

Mercury Black Beauty

Here we will be tying the fly Mercury Black Beauty by Pat Dorsey. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing when tied in small hook sizes like #16-24.

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.
