A top midge pattern that sinks quickly and triggers strikes. The Perdigon-style UV Zebra Midge features a tungsten bead for rapid descent and a durable UV coating that draws attention in low light or deep water. Mimics chironomids—up to 22% of a trout’s diet.

The UV Zebra Midge is a slim, fast sinking midge pattern built for trout feeding below the surface. Its Perdigon style body cuts through the water quickly, while the tungsten bead helps the fly reach the strike zone without adding unnecessary bulk.

The zebra segmentation gives the fly a clean chironomid profile, making it a strong choice when trout are keyed on small midges, pupae, or other tiny aquatic insects. The UV coating adds durability and a subtle trigger point that can help the fly stand out in deep water, low light, winter flows, or pressured tailwater conditions.

Fish it on a Euro nymphing rig, under an indicator, or as the dropper below a dry fly when trout are feeding on small subsurface food. It is especially useful in clear water, colder months, technical runs, and situations where a compact fly needs to sink fast and still get noticed.

FAQs

Frequently asked,
all answered.

What makes the UV Zebra Midge different from a standard Zebra Midge?

The UV Zebra Midge takes the simple, proven Zebra Midge profile and adds a UV resin coating for a more durable, perdigon-style finish. That smooth UV layer helps the fly sink efficiently, hold up better to fish, and create added visibility underwater while still keeping the slim midge profile trout expect.

How do I choose the right UV Zebra Midge color?

Black is the go-to color and works well as a general midge, small mayfly, and tiny stonefly imitation. Yellow or mustard is a strong choice for light-colored larva and mayfly nymphs. Green works well as a general attractor and can also suggest caddis larva. Red or pink is a great option when you want to imitate worms, blood midges, or simply show trout a bright attractor pattern.

What does the UV Zebra Midge imitate?

The UV Zebra Midge imitates small aquatic insects such as midges, tiny mayfly nymphs, and other small larva that trout feed on year-round. Its slim body, ribbed segmentation, and silver bead give it the look of a small subsurface insect drifting naturally through the water column.

When should I fish the UV Zebra Midge for trout?

The UV Zebra Midge is a great searching pattern when you are fishing new water and want to see if trout are feeding. It is especially useful in clear water, tailwaters, winter conditions, pressured trout streams, and anywhere fish are eating small subsurface insects.

Why does the UV Zebra Midge use a silver bead?

The silver bead gives the UV Zebra Midge just enough reflection to imitate the subtle shine of a small insect’s exoskeleton without being overly flashy once it gets deeper in the water. It adds a small trigger point while still keeping the fly natural enough for selective trout.
