Chironomid

[ditchbanker]

Thanks for convincing me to give these a try! I tied several up (thread, copper wire and a gold colored bead) and had an AWESOME day yesterday. I fished the Boise river through town with them when I had a few hours, and didn't really expect too much. Downtown and all. I haven't had that much success on decent sized rainbows in a while. Never before had such luck on wild trout. I fished the chironomid under a Royal Wulff. It was a little more effort than using a strike indicator because I had to retie knots to change depth, but the added bonus was 2 fish that took the Royal Wulf. Worth it.

Thanks again, had a great time with these easy to make little guys that don't even seem to fall apart.
