Friday Night Flies – Chromie Chironomid
The Chromie Chironomid is one of the most popular Chironomids on the planet. If you don’t have one of these in your Chironomid box, you’re Dumb. lol That being said I usually use this as my go to pattern if I don’t know what is working and venture of in a different direction with my other line. Like they always say the hardest thing about chironomid fishing is getting the first fish, then you’ve got the pattern.
