Field Notes

This is a stillwater chironomid pupa pattern for trout, especially effective when fish are feeding on emerging midges in lakes and ponds. Fish it under an indicator or on a slow retrieve near the depth where chironomids are hatching, with a pause to imitate the natural rise of the insect.

Pros

  • Realistic chironomid pupa profile
  • Weighted bead helps it get down
  • Good stillwater trout pattern

Cons

  • Specialized pattern with a narrower hatch-specific use
  • May be less effective when trout are not keyed on chironomids
