Description

The Midge Pupa Zebra is a time-tested subsurface pattern that continues to produce results on technical trout water year-round—especially during winter and early spring. With its ultra-slim profile, segmented body, and subtle ribbing, this fly mimics the drifting and emerging chironomid pupa trout feed on in cold, clear water.

Tied with a black thread body, silver wire ribbing, and a small bead head, the Zebra Midge sinks quickly and presents naturally in the drift. It excels on tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestone rivers when trout are keyed in on tiny midges and ignoring bulkier patterns.

This fly is ideal for fishing mid-column or just off the bottom—either on a tight-line nymph rig, under a dry fly, or below an indicator. Its durability, visibility, and clean silhouette make it a consistent producer in both fast and slow water.

Whether you’re fishing winter midge hatches or need a reliable dropper pattern in your two-fly setup, the Midge Pupa Zebra is a confidence fly that belongs in every trout angler’s cold-weather rotation.
