# **How to Choose 1 Dozen (12) – Zebra Midge – Red – Red Glass Bead**
When it comes to fly fishing, having the right flies in your tackle box can make all the difference. Among the most effective and versatile patterns is the **Zebra Midge**, particularly in **red with a red glass bead**. This tiny yet powerful fly is a must-have for anglers targeting trout, especially in cold water conditions.

## **Why the Zebra Midge?**
The **Zebra Midge** is a simple yet deadly imitation of midge pupae, a staple food source for trout year-round. Its slender profile and subtle movement make it irresistible to fish, particularly in slow-moving or still waters. The **red color** enhances visibility in murky conditions, while the **red glass bead** adds weight for a natural sink rate and extra attraction.
### **Key Features of the KyleBooker Zebra Midge – Red – Red Glass Bead:**
– **Premium Hook:** Strong, sharp, and corrosion-resistant for durability.
– **Red Glass Bead:** Adds weight for depth control and attracts fish with its flash.
– **Fine Thread & Wire Body:** Creates a segmented, realistic midge profile.
– **Consistent Sizing:** Ensures uniform performance across all 12 flies in the pack.
## **How to Fish the Zebra Midge Effectively**
### **1. Depth Control**
Since midges are small, trout often feed near the bottom. Use a **nymphing rig** with split shot or an indicator to get your Zebra Midge down to the strike zone.
### **2. Presentation**
– **Dead Drift:** Let the fly sink naturally with the current.
– **Slow Retrieve:** In still waters, a gentle twitch can trigger strikes.
– **Dropper Rig:** Pair it with a larger nymph or dry fly for a two-fly setup.
### **3. Best Conditions**
– **Winter & Early Spring:** Midges are active year-round, but trout rely on them heavily in cold months.
– **Stained Water:** The red coloration stands out better than natural tones.
