Crystal Chironomid - Tan
This deadly nymph perfectly mimics the vulnerable tan midge pupa, a staple food source for hungry trout. Its epoxy body catches light, while the poly yarn breathers create lifelike movement and water disturbance, triggering aggressive strikes.
Best Fished:
Ideal for targeting trout in Aussie rivers and lakes where midge pupa are abundant. Fish this nymph near the bottom in slower runs or drift it under an indicator in still waters, especially around submerged snags or weed beds.
The Recipe:
- Hook: Barbed Hook
