How do I tie a bead head zebra midge for fly fishing?
I know all the materials, but my thread keeps coming undone after i tie it of, why does this keep happening to me!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Thanks:)
I'm unclear about where/when your thread is coming undone. Do you mean it's coming undone when you first start out? Or sometime during the tying process? Or after it's all done?
First thing, you've got to learn the art of "starting" your thread. This takes some getting used to, but once you get it, you'll never have another problem with it. Basically, you wind some thread around the hook, then wind the thread over the start point. Have you considered watching videos to learn this stuff? Here's a YouTube video that shows the basics of starting thread. It's not a great video, but watch the thread and you'll hopefully understand.
If your thread is unwinding while you're tying the fly, it's probably a matter of tension. In fly fishing and Fly Tying, tension is everything. If you release tension while you've got a fish on, the fish gets away. If you release tension while your tying a fly, the thread will come undone and materials will drop off. You've got to keep tension on that thread, either with your hand (by keeping it taut) or with the weight of the bobbin hanging off the hook. It's sometimes helpful to throw a half-hitch knot into your thread while you're working. This will make it so that if you do accidentally release tension on your thread, things will only unwind to that knot. You can tie a half hitch anywhere along the way, and you can use it to finish a fly. Here's another YouTube video that shows how to do it:
If your fly is coming apart after you're done with it, that means you're not finishing it properly. You have to finish every fly with some form of lashing as the final step. Most people use a whip finish tool for this. The whip finish lashes the loose end of the thread under several (sometimes 10 or more) windings of thread at or near the hook eye. This secures the thread to itself and it will seldom if ever come apart if you do it right. You can also tie whip finishes with your fingers. Again, to YouTube for the visual:
Note -- most people use head cement at the end of the fly. This further locks down the material and keeps it from unwinding.
The Zebra Midge is one of the best winter nymphs that I know of. It's super simple to tie, can be tied in a wide variety of colors, styles, and sizes, and it's effective. I also happen to think they're cool-looking. It's basically just a bead head, an "ice cream cone" of thread, and a wire body. You can add an optional thorax with dubbing or peacock herl. YouTube:
And by the way -- THANKS for asking a couple questions about fly fishing. The only thing slower than the fishing right now is the Fishing section here in Y!A...

A ripe 19-year-old virgin fights to keep her virtue and retain her free-spirited ways during WW II. Set in an ancient, remote Neapolitan village, Miluzza is the lovely pubescent daughter of the glorious Nunziata, a nymphomaniac who is surprisingly well tolerated by her husband and her normally conservative neighbors. Nunziata and Miluzza lead an idyllic life until the Allies bomb their village. During the shelling Nunziata is killed in a manner that would make Freud proud. Afterward, Miluzza gets work at a tomato sauce factory where the owner, enticed by an accidental peak at her underwear attempts to seduce her in a local hotel. With her reputation thus ruined, life for Miluzza becomes a struggle to fight the gossip mongers and those who would rape here until she encounters Pietro, a handsome wounded soldier who offers her a better life. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
one of my older poems to send me to bed.. what are your comments on it?
Nightly, mesmerizing slowly
Clouds surround my moon
Slow-dancing, nimble pixies romp
To simple song of loon
Stars shimmering on the wet grass
Breeze blowing making waves
Crickets waxing up their fiddles
Bats fly now from their caves
A fairy ring is formed this night
A dragon in the centre
The forest has become the stage
For all who chose to enter
Pixies, fairies, nimble nymphs
Wise owl watching over
Entertain the forest creatures
Rhythmically on clover
And I perched quiet on a branch
With snifter of brandy
I listen to the forest noises
Eyes becoming sandy
When I wake to morning echoes
In bed of feathers soft
Night’s dissipated ardour spent
Safely in my barn loft
Lovely
Excuse me, so sorry; I don't mean to hurt your feelings. But I am not, and cannot think about going to sleep. Too much to do!
I just received an invite (bring a guest) to attend the Fairy party; my guest is my darling niece who WANTS to become a fairy:
A fairy ring is formed this night
A dragon in the centre
The forest has become the stage
For all who chose to enter
Pixies, fairies, nimble nymphs
Wise owl watching over
Entertain the forest creatures
Rhythmically on clover
I'll have to read this to her; both of us have vivid imagination when we play fairies or decorate her doll house, etc. I am sure she'll love it.
