Fly Tying

Tie 20 proven Zebra Midges without hunting down materials.

This kit gives you everything you need for the fly itself, paired with our step‑by‑step tying tutorial, so you can go from “I've always wanted to try tying...” to fishing your own flies with confidence.

What This Kit Is

The Zebra Midge is one of the most consistent trout flies ever created.

This kit includes everything you need to tie 20 Zebra Midges in the exact recipe we fish ourselves, so you don’t have to guess on hook style, bead size, or wire thickness.

Pair it with our full tying tutorial and you’ve got a complete, beginner-friendly path from bare hook to fish-ready fly.

Who Its For

• New or intermediate fly tyers who want a confidence pattern that actually works
• Anglers tired of piecing together materials from multiple shops or stores
• Anyone who wants to learn tying on a fly they can fish all year long

Why You'll Love It

• No guesswork on materials
  Everything is pre-matched for this fly. Right hook, bead size, thread, and wire. Just follow along and tie.
• Enough for 20 fish-ready flies
  20 hooks + 20 tungsten beads + plenty of thread and wire, so you can practice, improve, and still end up with a full row in your box.
• Built around our step-by-step tutorial
  This kit matches our Zebra Midge tying video exactly. What you see on screen is what you have at the vise.
• Skip the overwhelm
  No more staring at a massive materials section wondering what to buy, or placing multiple orders because one item is out of stock.
• Better value than buying everything separately
  Priced so you come out ahead compared to grabbing every component separately, plus you save the time and hassle of tracking it all down.

What This Wire Is

A premium, non‑tarnishing fly tying wire from Semperfli, designed for ribbing, bodies, and adding subtle weight to nymphs, wets, streamers, and even some dry flies. Available in multiple diameters and colors to match everything from tiny midges to big nymph and streamer patterns.

Best Uses

Use lighter diameters for:

• Lighter diameters (0.1 or 0.2 mm): Midges, small nymphs, and dry flies where you want fine, low‑bulk ribbing
• Heavier diameters (0.3+ mm): Brassies, stoneflies, buggers, streamers, and other larger patterns

Why It Matters

• Non‑tarnishing wire that keeps its color and shine, even after time on the water
• Consistent diameter and smooth coating so it wraps cleanly without kinks or weak spots
• Strong but easy to use – just wiggle to break at the hook, so you don’t ruin your scissors
• Neat, level spooling that helps prevent bird’s nests, with a cap to keep the tag end secure between sessions
• Wide color range so you can add subtle segmentation, bold hotspots, or full wire bodies in the shades you want

What’s on the Spool

1x Spool of Semperfli fly tying wire in your selected diameter and color

What This Pack Is

A premium curved nymph hook for patterns like midges, scuds, sow bugs, and other small nymphs where the curved profile helps the fly sit naturally in the water.

Best Flies to Tie On It

Midges, scuds, sow bugs, WD‑40s, chironomids, or any other curved‑body nymph pattern.

Why It Matters

• Razor‑sharp point for fast, solid hook‑ups
• Curved shape gives your fly the right, natural silhouette
• Black nickel finish looks clean and resists corrosion
• Strong high-carbon steel so you can fish hard without worrying about bent hooks

What’s in the Pack

20x VFC curved nymph hooks (black nickel finish)

What This Thread Is

A high‑quality, lightly waxed polyester fly tying thread from Semperfli, designed specifically for trout and streamer patterns. It lays flat, grips materials well, and stays strong even in finer sizes so you can build clean, low‑bulk flies.

Best Uses

General‑purpose thread for a wide range of flies, depending on the size you choose:

• Finer sizes (18/0 or 12/0): dries, emergers, midges, and nymphs
• Heavier sizes (8/0 or 6/0): terrestrials and streamers

Why It Matters

• Lays flat for less bulk
  Slightly twisted construction lets the thread flatten on the hook shank, so you can keep bodies slim and avoid bulky heads.
• Just the right amount of wax
  Light wax coating adds grip on hair, dubbing, and synthetics without gumming up your bobbin.
• Strong for its diameter
  Built to handle tight wraps, flare deer hair, and cinch materials down without constant break‑offs.
• Easy to split for dubbing loops
  The construction makes it simple to open up the thread for dubbing loops when you want extra bugginess or bulk.
• Wide color range
  Offered in a full palette of natural, bright, and fluorescent colors so you can match hatches or build high‑vis attractors.

What’s in the Spool

1x Spool of Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread in your selected size and color.

What It Is

A lead-free weighted wire for adding weight to flies, getting them down faster in rivers and stillwater.

Why It Matters

Depth matters. This wire lets you add weight exactly where you want it so your fly sinks quickly and drifts naturally.

• Lead-free and non-toxic
• Easy to wrap and shape
• Great for building bodies and controlling profile

How It Fishes

Adds reliable weight without making flies bulky or hard to tie. Ideal for nymphs, scuds, shrimp patterns, and other subsurface flies.

Wire Amount

0.3mm (0.012") Wire - 5 meters

What This Pack Is

A premium standard nymph hook designed for the majority of classic and modern nymph patterns, where a straight-shank profile provides versatility, balance, and reliable hook-ups.

Best Flies to Tie On It

Pheasant Tails, Hare’s Ears, Frenchies, stoneflies, mayfly nymphs, and most general nymph patterns. These also work great for terrestrial patterns like Chubby Chernobyls and Hippie Stompers. 

Why It Matters

• Razor‑sharp point for fast, solid hook‑ups
• Curved shape gives your fly the right, natural silhouette
• Black nickel finish looks clean and resists corrosion
• Strong high-carbon steel so you can fish hard without worrying about bent hooks

What’s in the Pack

20x VFC standard nymph hooks (black nickel finish)

What It Is

Premium ringneck pheasant center tail feathers, 20 inches long, ideal for tying classic and modern nymph patterns.

Why It Matters

Ringneck pheasant tail is one of the most versatile and effective natural materials in fly tying. The fibers have a natural taper, mottled coloration, and subtle movement that trout recognize instantly.

• Long, straight center tail fibers for consistent tying
• Natural mottled color that imitates a wide range of insects
• Strong enough for bodies, tails, and wing cases
• A staple material for proven, confidence patterns

How It Fishes

Used in flies like Pheasant Tails, Frenchies, Shop Vacs, Gunslingers, soft hackles, and countless variations. Fish it anywhere trout feed on small nymphs—which is everywhere.

What It Is

A fine, synthetic dubbing with subtle metallic flash that adds life and light to nymphs, emergers, and small streamers.

Why It Matters

A little flash goes a long way underwater. Ice dubbing adds just enough sparkle to help flies stand out—without overpowering the pattern.

• Micro-fine fibers for a clean, natural build
• Subtle flash that reflects light like a real insect
• Easy to control in small amounts
• Great for bodies, thoraxes, and hotspots

How It Fishes

Use it sparingly to add depth and realism to flies that need a touch of life. Especially effective in clear water, low light, or when fish want a little extra glint.
