Buy 12+ Flies, Get a Fly Box for $5
When Chironomids shed their nymphal shuck, they wriggle and bend to free themselves. The Chiron Pupa is tied on a bent hook (as opposed to the Chiron Bomber tied on a straight hook) to imitate a Chironomid wriggling free of its shuck. Both flies are equally effective during different times of the year/stages of the insect. The red and black Chiron Pupa effectively imitates the color scheme of the most popular Chironomids and fools fish over and over again. This is a fly that should be used in a stillwater setting (lake, pond, etc.) or wherever Chironomids are present. Trout cruise lakes and ponds in the western US and beyond, searching for these small insects that hatch in high numbers during the spring and summer. These are successful when suspended under an indicator or fished with a slow, stillwater retrieve.

"This version of the Chironomid Nymph is a nice stillwater fly but I prefer the longer, thinner Chiron Bomber more. That fly is slightly more versatile. That being said, this is a solid color pattern and has worked for me out west in the late summer. I like to fish this as a dropper under a dry fly on calm days on lakes and ponds."
