Trigger Color for Hungry Trout
The Tungsten Bead Head Zebra Midge in Red is a high-confidence pattern across the Eastern Sierra — especially when you need a little extra pop to turn lookers into eaters. The bold red body with silver ribbing acts as a natural attractor, imitating blood midges and other midge species commonly found in nutrient-rich Sierra waters.
The tungsten bead ensures a quick descent into the strike zone, making it perfect for indicator rigs in stillwater or tight-line setups in moving water. Whether you’re fishing deep drop-offs in alpine lakes or tailouts in spring-fed creeks, this fly shines when trout are feeding subsurface and you need something they won’t ignore.
