Just to clarify, a chironomid is a midge and a midge is a chironomid. Down south they call small chironomids midges and when a chironomid pupa emerges it becomes an adult "chironomid"

Thanks JohnK for clarifying that. I always see pictures of pupae flies that're called chironomids and dry fly adults called midges. Hence the confusion.  Shaneo, no it wasn't the same one. There were thousands on the surface so I just picked them up at the different stages. We did see them at all the stages and we were covered in the adults. haha. |

Went to a local lake today which was Plan B as there was a 360 ha. forest fire blocking access to Plan A. Is this the start of a hot dry summer? Anyways, the lake is always a guarantee for chironomids in May and not even a size 18 to be seen. The trout were gorged on size 18 waterboatmen to the point where they were spilling out of their mouths once netted. |
