Chironomids or midge fishing is a pleasant, aesthetically pleasing way to fly fish. Cast out a floating fly line with a pupal pattern, wait for it sink to the appropriate depth, begin a slow hand twist retrieve and pause regularly to take in the scenery around you. Then feel your fly line move or take off and another trout is fooled. It sounds easy, and it is, once you understand the chironomid life cycle and when and where trout feed on them.  Buy 6 flies and your 7th is free.

   Nymphs are without a doubt one of the most varied group of fly patterns.  Because of the success I have had with them,  I fish nymph patterns on every single trip regardless of the season.  If you happen to be on the water when absolutely nothing is happening on the surface (i.e. a hot, clear, summer afternoon) and you plan on  getting your net wet, you had better have a diverse selection of nymphs and some split-shot.  The fact that nymph patterns are so varied leads us to believe that fish don’t look at nymphs as closely as they do hatching insects.  Buy 6 flies and your 7th is free.
