Hi Everyone!
What a fantastic turnout last night. We talked about chironomids that have worked well in several of our local pot hole lakes. We also talked a lot about chironomid construction. Ralf from our club will be smiling because we used magic markers to make a residual hemoglobin tip and a hot spot orange collar (represents wing pads).
There is definitely a spot in your fly box for a dull chromie like chironomid. We have noticed a lot of throat samples showing chironomids that were not very shiny or "gassed up." Below is what we came up with. Take a look!
We also tied up a variation of a Window Tint Chironomid. Take a look! These are excellent chironomids to add to your chironomid box.
Oh yes, I bought my precut Antistatic bag from this person:

...also Bob Edens sells Buzzer Wrap in his shop!
We also spent time about how to approach a lake. Sometimes adjusting your location might be moving very short distances and of course playing with depth.
Next week is Part Two of Tying with Pheasant Tail. We will be tying two excellent dry fly patterns and a neat streamer that uses pheasant tail!
See you next week!
