I've been playing with this #chironomid #flypattter over the summer while in search of bluegill, rock bass, sunfish, and perch. It's gone through a few versions and this one has been performing quite well with the warm water species. I haven't tried it on lake dwelling trout yet, but I have my suspicions that it will also do well.
I used a speckled Flashabou on the fly to tone down the brightness and have been using both black and the gunmetal blue wire to segment the bodies. I occasionally use both colors on the same fly for a slight variation.
