Notes
A chironomid pupa imitation for stillwater trout, fished on a floating line with a leader three to four feet longer than the water depth, with or without a strike indicator. Depth control matters more than size or colour, and the fly is most useful in the spring and in the months after ice-off when chironomid hatches are heaviest.
