CHIRONOMIDS

[kamloopstrout 0]

Hi TW,

Yes the stripped peacock herl, black with red rib, granny smith, and chromies are some of my favorites. I have been on the C&R lake and caught some nice ones already. The s-p-h is one of the best though it works at many lakes.

hook- 2x-14 or scud hook 16-10

white slon gill

7/64 black bead

red holo rib, small red wire, or crimson frostbite rib

body- stripped peacock herl

collar- peacock herl

tie on gill, put bead on, tie in rib, tie on body material, wrap body, wrap rib, then tie in collar.

hey KT ,when i was at that lake last spring the fish were all 18" cookie cutters and easy fishing although it was really busy. I assume those fish are about 22" now and a little smarter ?? probably even busier now !have the hatches started ??? do you have a gmc in your box? my go to.go get em !

The fish there should be even larger than that this year. the lake is turnover right now so when it clears up we will find out.

The GMC is an great fly for that lake, but of course I have my own variations that I cannot devulge. Try a number 16 olive with black rib as well it can work well.

cheers kt

Have you tried using black stretch flex? All you have to do is change the bead between black and white, also change wire colours. Copper, silver, white, and red wires in small can cover many chironomids. White bead chironomids from size 18-8 black sf body, wire rib are the simpelist ones to tie. With a black bead you have to use some sort of gill like a slon or white unistretch under the bead. As you can see just these combinations cover many flies.
