Fly tying video: Ice cream cone chironomid

May 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Get ready to catch stillwater trout in Oregon’s high lakes with this classic chironomid midge pattern, the Ice cream cone. Barrett says this staple fly for Crane Prairie is a great year round bloodworm imitation. In the spring, fish really key in on these chironomids fished under an indicator. Tie these sparse for realism.
