FLY FISHING: HOW TO FLY FISH SHALLOW WATER CHIRONOMIDS

[@williamt2951]

Hello Don and Brian, I just finished watching the video, as always a superb video. Don, thanks for posting the pale chironomid tying video. I use red thread for the butt section but coloring the tying thread with a red marker is a much easier method. William Phoenix AZ.

Thanks for watching William and I find it easier to color mark the thread when I’m tying with lighter colors threads.

I can hear for hours to Brian Chan talking about fly fishing still waters.

Blood worms are bad news? How so? Sometimes in spring I catch fish puking giant globs of them up and an imitation works great.

Yes, we agree…Bloodworms are awesome! We probably meant Glassworms and made a mistake if we mentioned Bloodworms are bad.

What time of year was this filmed? Great video once again 👏

[@SFOTF]

Mid May 👌

That whole west end of the lake is increasingly choked with weeds. I barely bother trying to head in there with a trolling motor.

Yes, gets weedy by mid June but May is excellent before the weeds get too high.
