No Chironomids. Yea i'm a nut for fishing those bugs,but.If you really take it on especially in the spring/summer.You will be presently surprised at your catch rates.Yes they're tiny bugs,in some lakes.Fish feed 60-80% of there food intake are the bug.My largest trout caught in recent years was a Tiger.Caught on a simple blk &red red wire ribbed chironmid,well over 8lbs.When yo have to get off the water because you have landed 30-40 fish in the morning[Patterson,west goose],your foe arm is so sore.Yes i here the doubter's.When the water is flat,no bugs ,surface active.What do you think,All the fish aren't biting.Put a bug on ,under a indicator 1' off the bottom.WATCH the indicator & hold on.Winter is approaching tying season coming .Give'em a try...Bloodworms are chironomids,try this fall...

Thanks Brian, your feedback is greatly appreciated. These flies are not used for trout fishing, more for Florida and also to add to my collection. I do use small flies for trout fishing...mostly size 12 elk hair caddis and prince nymph. Cant say I’ve tried chironomids on a indicator yet...I have tied a variety of colours in my wet box. I also was fortunate and caught some nice size browns so far. Maybe this fall on Anton lake would be a good time to try this... little brown I caught this afternoon!
