I use to tie a lot of zebra midges in the dark brown and either copper bead and wire or in gold. Not sure it looked much different than the black zebra midge when it got good and wet. I tie more RFSN with gold or copper beads and wire anymore. Got a good deal 20 years ago or so on Tiemco hooks from Jerry at Weaver's Tackle. He sold them to me at cost which at the time was $10 a hundred. Buddy, Danny decided he wanted some so he said just double the order and I'll pay you half. He was shocked when I told him I had ordered 1500 for both he and I. I assured him that if he didn't want all or part of his share, I would keep the entire order. It wasn't like they were going to go bad. He got his half!
