Re: Time to start tying Chironomids
SRUPP, I have a pattern that works pretty well when the bombers are coming off Dugan, 2xl #14 curved nymph, gills, brass bead, green thread base, med brown holographic and one strand of gun metal flashabou for ribs. When you wrap the holographic brown up leave a bit of space between wraps so a bit of the green shows, then wrap the one strand of flashabou, coat with your favorite coating. These bombers seem to come off in deeper water, off the big house in 18-22ft.

Re: Time to start tying Chironomids
Another box of bugs wrapped up for the buddies. And that's going to do it for me this season. I'll fill a couple empty slots in last year's boxes and unless some new pattern or material catches my attention or if more people ask to purchase, I'll put the fly tying materials away. This nice weather has got me itching for some shooting and load development as the early bear season will get here soon. I still want to get some yard work done before the fun begins so I sure would like to get all my tying and loading benchwork done and out of the way. Almost there. :-P

Re: Time to start tying Chironomids
Hmm Riber, I set up and sliced up a antistatic bag today using your stacked blade suggestion.
Worked like a charm.
Thank you for this suggestion.
