A compact midge pupa pattern built to get down quickly and stay in the strike zone. The Tungsten Zebra Midge combines a slim profile with a segmented thread-and-wire body and tungsten bead, making it a dependable option when trout are feeding on small midges in clear, pressured, or cold water. Tungsten versions are particularly useful when you need to get a small fly down without adding unnecessary bulk.
