Amazing, my favourite version of the zebra midge! Thank you Barry

[kerrypitt]

That little midge pattern has been a very successful pattern since somebody first tied it. Nice to see it here! Tie some without the bead as well, I use them on a grease line setup. Thanks Barry, always appreciate your work!

[benjaminneumann]

I really like that trick using a old hackle feather to clean out the eye! I've been doing it myself now, works great!

[luizmateus]

Thank you. Simple but neat. Love to watch your thread wrapping/control. How can anyone give a thumbs down on this, is beyond me! Take care Barry.

I've been fly tying for approximately 4 months. Fast learning, but just bought your book Fly Tying for beginners. Absolute quality, well illustrated and kicking myself that I didn't know about this gem previously. Your first QR code brought me here, although I've been watching your videos for months. So, I'll work my way through the book and hope to have improved rapidly by the end of it. Great work 👏

This is the simplest yet right way to tie a midge really of almost any color. I'm partial to the more realistic looking midges but I have used the outrageous colors like neon pink or day glow orange and mixed them with a bright neon or lime green color and for what ever reason (the fishing gods maybe) the fish here won't even chase a realistic colored one but drop one of the Zombie (I call them) colored ones in a dropper set up in a size 18 or 20 and they will smash it every time it drifts close to them....go figure right ? Who knew. I've always considered my self a traditional Fly Fisherman but gradually as I saw guys taking fish after fish with a zombie color tied on I warmed up to it real quick. My midge box has just as many Zombie colors now as realistic colors.
Thanks Again Mr.Clark for sharing with us.

To start the day watching a lesson from you is awesome. Thank you sir

[philmepham]

Beautiful. As much as the outcome is of outstanding value, the ‘feel’ of all your videos is pure relaxation. Thank you.

[shaunnicholls]

Just bought your book. Vice and tools on order and I was getting nervous but oh make it look SO accessible I’m certain I can do this

[davidfraser]

Fishy looking, thanks Barry. Stay safe and well. Big Davie

[Yankeefan]

I love when Barry ties classic patterns... that way I can look at my box and judge all of my own ties against a masterpiece.

[barbaraemerich]

Great video! I really like the varnish tip. I will be definitely tying this zebra midge

[andrewdell]

Superbly simple and as always neat as a pin.

[alfonsagelwei]

Very Relevant fly Barry. Love it in size 16-22. You just have to carry this fly. Like the cement trick.

[joebare]

[mattearnshaw]

Hi Barry
I Enjoy your book, Flytying for beginners. I find it hard to find hooks.
Could you please recommend a place to order from. I would like the Mustad brand.
