Notes

A buzzer imitating a midge pupa, Anton's go-to pattern when chironomids are coming off. Tie a red wire butt and rib, a silver holographic tinsel body, a thorax, and amber goose biot wing buds folded back to the eye, optionally with white yarn gills. Fish it in stillwaters as a chironomid imitation.
