UV Zebra Midge Perdigon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
