GRG Fly Tying - Zebra Midge

The Zebra Midge is a staple pattern for many anglers and guides in the west. Especially great in waters where midges are prolific. Can be tied a large variety of size and color combinations, but this particular combination is a favorite amongst GRG staff and guides. A great pattern for learning fly tyers and to stock up on. Is fishable year-round, but seems to shine most in SW Montana in late summer and winter.
