B52 – Bomber Chironomid Fly Pack

What can we say about the Zucchini chironomid pupa fly. From the day it was first developed it has caught fish and grown to be one of the most popular chironomid pupa flies throughout our vast stillwater region. The Zucchini chironomid represents a dark green/black pupa with just the right amount of shimmer and a red blood rib that drives trout crazy. A super effective chirony fly that works well from a tiny #16 to a bomber #12 2X. As usual this is the exact same pattern, tied the with the exact same materials and in the exact same manner (including on super strong Daiichi hooks and with a full coating of KRAZY glue) that we use ourselves here on the trophy trout waters of the beautiful BC Interior. If we could only have one chironomid pupa fly pattern this is the one to have! The Zucchini is tied in five standard sizes (#12 2X Bomber, #10, #12, #14 & #16) and, because sometimes small details can make all the difference it is available in two bead colours (black & white), and two rib colours (original red and shimmery silver)! The Zucchini Chironomid Pupa can also be found as a permanent member of our BC Interior HT Chironomid Power pack!

An oldie but a goodie, the Peaches & Green chironomid pupae represents brown/olive chironomid pupae as they are just beginning to gas up to emerge. The brilliant white bead head does a great job representing gills, attracting trout and getting/keeping the fly in the zone. The body material "shape shifts" depending on how the light hits it adding to its allure!  As with all of our flies the P&G is the exact same pattern, tied the with the exact same materials and in the exact same manner (including on the super strong Daiichi 1760 hook and with a full coating of krazy glue!) as  we use ourselves here on the trophy trout waters of the beautiful BC Interior. The P&G  has proven it's self worthy over years of testing and is a must have in your chirony fly box! Available in five (5) sizes - #14, #16, #18 & #10 & #12 Bombers to cover anything that you might encounter on our trophy stillwaters!

A more recent development, this fiery brown pupa has been in our arsenal, being tested and tweaked over the last 4 years, and is at the point where we can confidently declare it an absolute must have chironomid pupa fly pattern!

A white bead gill for murky waters and a black bead version for clear stillwaters with picky bows. As with all of our flies, the Fireball chironomid is tied for you the exact same way we tie it for ourselves, utilizing quality beads, the super strong Daiichi 1760 hook, and the flyguys standard full body krazy glue finish!

If you've been doing this long enough you've surely heard of the "pornomid" chironomid pupa fly ... a super effective cronie pattern that kinda faded away as the tying materials became harder & harder to find. With the advent of new materials however, along with some local ingenuity, ;) the Window Washer Chironomid has proven to be a formidable substitute! One of the flies enticing qualities is it's ability to "shape shift" depending on how the light hits it, adding to its allure ... a feature that's hard to capture in a photo but that you will notice immediately in hand. As with all of our flies the Window Washer Pornomid variant is the exact same pattern, tied the with the exact same materials and in the exact same manner (including on the super strong Daiichi 1760 hook and with a full coating of krazy glue!) as  we use ourselves here on the trophy trout waters of the beautiful BC Interior.
