ORVIS: Tom Rosenbauer Ties a Zebra Midge

Tom Rosenbauer demonstrates how to tie a Zebra Midge from his home tying station. Here's the recipe: Zebra Midge Hook: Any short-shank curved hook (such as Tactical Wide Gap; Tactical Czech Nymph; or Scud, Shrimp and San Juan Worm hook), sizes 14 through 22 Bead: Silver, either tungsten or brass. Thread and body: Black, 8/0. Rib: Silver Ultra Wire. Note: You can use any color thread–I tie them in red, brown, purple, and green–and use any color bead you want. The rib can be any color Ultra Wire. The bead can also be a glass bead instead of a metal one. And you can tie bigger ones on a jig hook.
