Chironomids
There’s nothing quite like a stillwater chironomid hatch when the bite is on. One of the most abundant food sources in lakes, reservoirs, and ponds; these midges will start to emerge the minute the ice begins to melt in early spring. With slim profiles, ribbed bodies, and flashy patterns, we offer a wide variety of options to lure those selective lake cruisers to your hanging flies.
