A clean, highly effective chironomid imitation built for the demanding stillwaters of the Eastern Sierra. The translucent green body mirrors natural midge pupae, while the flex rib adds crisp segmentation and a subtle sheen that comes alive in the water. Finished with a smooth epoxy coating, this pattern maintains a slim, realistic profile while offering just enough flash to stand out at depth.
This is a go-to on fisheries like Crowley Lake, Gull Lake, and Grant Lake, especially during consistent midge hatches when trout are suspended and feeding mid-column. Fish it under an indicator as part of a balanced chironomid rig, or as a dropper beneath a larger attractor.
Best Uses:
Indicator rigs (8–14 ft depth depending on conditions)
Midday and evening midge hatches
Clear to lightly stained stillwater
Target: Trout feeding on chironomid pupae in Eastern Sierra lakes
