Notes
Tied in sizes 10 to 12 to imitate 1/2 to 5/8 inch chironomid pupae, especially light orange-brown "carrot" pupae with a red butt. It is fished on a dry line with a leader equal to the water depth, and the gold bead head and copper rib help it sink quickly while keeping a slim profile. Phil Rowley notes it was a big hit with fish at White Lake.
