Big Rainbow Trout on Chironomid - Calicanuck - 05-31-2015
Just thought I'd post up a video from this spring. Bought a fly rod and finally tried some chironomid fishing. Found a bank transition to mud flat where I thought the fish would be cruising and it didn't take long before that little strike indicator was down and it was game on! This was my first time trying so I really wasn't set up for video. Just had my cell phone, but still got some neat shots of some really beautiful and BIG rainbows! Got to love fly fishing. I'll have to mess around with this fly fishing business a little more!

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I love deep nymphing for them with 30' leaders and a slip indy out on my pontoon. Been fishing mids for a lot of years.
