Chroinomid Olive

The Olive Chironomid fly is a must-have for Lake fly fishers With its realistic appearance and red hot spot this fly is my ice-out bug when the spring water temps are chilly but is a staple for me all summer. Early spring some of the first midges you see hatching will be small in size and bright green colored. When the hatch starts fish shallow around 5 to 8 feet deep on sand flats around the edges of the lake. This pairs well with a black or red chironomid and balance leeches usually Fished under an indicator Available hook sizes 10 through 14 with a 2.8mm White tungsten bead.
