Friday Night Flies – Mirage Chromie Chironomid
Chironomids are the main food source for trout and they are available all year long. It’s important to have a variety of sizes and colors available at your disposal. This version imitates a chironomid that is almost at the surface and the pearl tinsel imitates the trapped air that these bugs use to reach the surface before evolving into their next stage of life. Fish this under an indicated closer to the top of the water column.
