rich5665 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2009 I decided to try tying a Bead Head Chironomid based on an image I found on Google. I think the wire I used for the rib is the wrong size, it should have been finer, I used rabbit fur for the gills. I was going to use Peacock Herl for the head, but decided to try making one with the thread instead. Let me know what you think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found another variation of this pattern, that I know I have most of the materials for. 3/32 Bead Copper #16 Nymph hook Body - 6/0 Black Thread Head - Peacock Herl Rib - Fine Silver Wire Gill - White Z-Lon My dog ripped up one of his toys, so I was thinking of using the stuffing as a substitute for the Z-Lon or I could use Rabbit for again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
