Well Dano, I can't help with the first two but #3; the Ugly Zebra Midge is simple. That's any of the zebra's I tie I'll send ya a few if you want.

dano,

the primrose and pearl zebra midge is this--

copper tungsten bead to match hook size

14/0 thread in 'primrose' -- (brand name on thread is 'sheer' bought mine @river run outfitters)

pearl flash, small copper wire

if you want a better look @one of these -- the sell them @river run -- they are my 'go to' fly @taney right now as they catch lots of fish!

Thanks Damsel...I would presume the primrose and pearl soft hackle is just the same P and R Zebra tied with some soft hackle behind the bead.

Hey John I bet mine are uglier than yours.... Dano

Dano,

I googled "ugly zebra midge" and came up with this. There are pics.

If you click on "The Old Seagull's Small Five" you get bigger pics of the flies.

Besides the pearl and primrose midge, what materials are used for the other midges listed on Seagull's top five? I had great results with the copper dun midge that I purchased.

Thanks, Don
