Which fly?

[phearless]

So which fly will be tied to the end of your line first this spring?
In stillwaters I mean.
I'm thinking depending on the lake, probably a micro leech or Johnnie Chironi.

It's hard to say. This year I would like to start learning how to chironomid fish, and that being so, it will likely be a chronie.

[professori]

Bunny leech, or chrystal chironomid.

[2fly]

Chironomid or a big fat Gomphus.

[phearless]

How could I forget the Gomphus.
Had my best ever day on Peterhope on the old gomphoid.
Biggest lake rainbow as well.That bwill be a day long remembered

Hmm how about a chronie marinated in bacon grease

I am going to try more leech's under the indicator this year. Loop knot with a micro should be good ice off tactic

Also hope to get the into some more sink line chronie fishing this season .

Cheers

Good day all. I anticipate my trusty black leech slowly trolled from my tube will be the first fly of the year. I would really like to learn how to fish chronomids as I have tried but to no avail. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I would pick up a copy of Gordon Honeys "Flyfishing Small Lakes" and study the chapter on chironomids.The location and depth is the only tricky part to fishing this hatch,I always use a ducan loop and spend the time searching and anchoring properly.
