Quick take
Hand-tied midge nymph flies with bead heads on Mustad hooks, size #22, in three colors suitable for trout and panfish.
This Zebra Midge nymph is a size 22 bead head fly tied on a Mustad Signature hook, with a fine wire rib behind the bead. The pattern imitates a midge pupa, a food fish feed on in cool, still water. It suits anglers working tailwaters and lakes who want a small nymph to drift below the surface.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
