Not All Trout Are Dining on Chironomids


It is certainly fascinating to see what food items the trout key in on. These two samples were taken within a few minutes in the exact same spot. One trout was dining on shrimp and the other,  chironomids. There are literally several 1000 different subspecies of chironomids, so keeping an eye over the course of the day on what the trout are eating can help you fly fish with the right chironomids.


These chironomids have been staples the last 10 days out on the water. Thanks for the photo Rick Miyauchi
