Chan's Chironomid
UsesImitates the pupa of a chironomid (midge). Although midges are usually associated with lake fishing, hatches are also common in many rivers. That "mystery" hatch you've experienced at dusk on your favorite river may be a midge hatch. VariationsVary the hook size and body color to match the natural insects. Common body colors are: black, gray, gray-olive, red, tan, dark brown. How to FishIn lakes, use the static midge, deep midge, or slow retrieve presentations. On rivers, use the shallow nymph presentation. |
