The Zebra Midge is another very simple yet deadly midge pupa imitation.  Simple to tie, it has proven to be another go-to bug particularly in the Spring out near Dillon (Beaverhead, Ruby, etc.) and always on the Madison all year long.  The version shown below with the red rib and glass bead is also tied with a White bead and affectionately known as the "Snow Cone" - a refreshing treat for the trouts on a hot summer day!
