The ZebraGon implements many of my favorite characteristics from multiple time tested nymphs. For example it has the shape of a mayfly, the abdomen of a zebra midge, the density of a Perdigon nymph, and can imitate a variety of different aquatic insects. This is the type of nymph that is often referred to as a “guide fly” because it is so easy and quick to tie, yet extremely effective. It is also easy to expand on this pattern, for example I can add a thread hotspot, or a hotspot dubbing collar to make it more of an attractor pattern. Additionally, I can change the thread color to adjust this pattern to different river systems or time of the year. The variations on this fly are endless.
The versatility and simplicity of this nymph make it a staple in my fly box. Whether I am fishing a technical tailwater or a high mountain freestone stream this pattern gets the job done year round.
