Zebra Jig Thin – Olive
The Zebra Midge… a true classic for trout fisherman far and wide.
How could such a classic pattern be improved upon you might be wondering?
Well, there isn’t too much that needs to be done to this iconic fly, but Umpqua is excited to introduce its jigged version of the famed Zebra Midge.
Tied on the XC210BL-BN with a slotted tungsten bead, this version of the Zebra gives anglers a barbless option that can be dredged along the bottom without worry of dulling your hook.
A subtle thread hot spot behind the bead combined with a slender profile and coating of UV resin will help deliver this fly into the strike zone quickly and help you catch the attention of fish lurking in the depths.

This fly performs well in deep water. The jigging action helps it move naturally through the current. I’ve used it in streams and it catches trout consistently. The olive color blends well with the water and the barbless design makes it easy to retrieve without snagging.

Great addition to my fly box. The tungsten bead gives it good weight and it sinks smoothly. I noticed it stays on the bottom without getting stuck. Works well in slow-moving streams where trout are active.

The UV coating helps it stay visible even in murky water. I’ve used it in both morning and afternoon fishing and it’s been effective. The slender profile makes it look natural when fished slowly.
