Midge Chronicles: The short, sweet and simple of Midges and some patterns that imitate them.

Zebra Midge
Originally created to fish the Colorado River in Lee's Ferry Arizona to imitate Midge Pupa.

Hook: Midge or Scud hook-Tiemco 2487 or 2488
Sizes(in my box): 16-22
Colors: Black, Red, Olive or Brown. Usually with wire to match color of bead. I've found any and all variations of colors to work. Some better on sunny days and others on cloudy days.



This is a great pattern to fish by itself and it's a great pattern to fish as a dropper, either behind a nymph or behind a dry.

Stay tuned for more Midge Chronicles!
