Zebra Midge, Beginner's Fly Tying Series, Episode 11, Holsinger's Fly Shop

holsingersflysh... brings you the simplest fly there is to tie, the Zebra Midge. I tied this easy little fly on a size 18 for video quality but fish this on small ones than that mostly down to a size 22.

I wish someone who gave you a "dislike" would've had the guts to post why. Good job, Man, and the Zebra is a great pattern to have. They don't even need to be perfect in my opinion, just general in relation to the shape, size, and color of the natural.

Beadhead midge - size 20 to 26 are my faves. I use two with different colors tied in tandem on my tippet. I love fishing with bbhead midges.

I am concerning to use the hooks size 18 or 22 for steelhead 10 to 15 lbs, any advise ?

[@HolsingersFlyShop]

Hung Luc I’m not gonna lie. You are definitely going to lose fish on a hook that size. It’s easy with such a small hook to pull it out of their mouths. Lately I’ve been tying my zebra midges on our HFS jig hooks in a size 18. Been catching a lot on them. I prefer jig hooks when I can.

[@SirPraiseSun]

anything smaller than 18 is ridic and pointless in my opinion 16 14 12 midges all day use the thicker hook if u want
