- Tyler Ekdahl is a B.C native with over 10+ years experience fishing his local waters - so when he says this Chironomid is his favourite pattern, I'll take his word for it!
There are over 2,500 species of chironomids found in freshwater habitats throughout North America. They are one of the most abundant food sources found in small lakes throughout our BC. Since trout, char, and even kokanee feed extensively on chironomids, these small insects make a great food source for fly-tyers to imitate.
RECIPE:
HOOK: Size 14 curved nymph hook 2X
BEAD: 2.4mm black brass
THREAD: 70D in colour red and black
GILLS: White UTC Uni-Stretch
ABDOMEN: ASB 0.75mm topped off with UV resin
RIB: Small red wire

Nicely done!! Thanks for the wiggle tip on the thread.
Glad it was helpful!
Gidday Tyler. Nice work. Thanks.
Great tutorial man! Such a cool pattern, I gotta tie some of these. Gonna order some more material from Togens for sure :)
Awesome! Thank you!
So you don't cover the red wire with the asb? You just go in between wraps?
Nice fly, wondering why you put the asb on after the rib? Just curious because I do it the opposite.
I do the asb then wire cuz I find the asb will naturally follow the wire making them match up nicely .. I found doing it asb first sometimes it would match up perfect .. just found this way easier and hope u do to
Thx for the feedback and comment!! It's the best way any YT creators get better.
Looking forward to this!
Cheers Nick 🍻
Hey mate, if you are going to do demos you should get your terminoligy is correct, that beig said it is athorax not a collar...just trying to help
Thx
Anticipation!
Cheers Dave! 🍻
Awesome fly Tyler. Thanks for sharing. Ice is off so time to try one. Change your camera's focus setting to manual if you can to hold a nice clear picture of the fly.
Thanks for the tip!
Well done!!
Thx Brian!
Beauty!
Cheers mate!!
Tyler, thanks for this great chironomid. Instead of switching threads, I'm just going to use my black Sharpie and colour the red thread! If you can't get antistatic bags (ASB), the Togen's blue steel chirony skin is great! :-) I'm out in the East. Lot's of stillwater here. Heading out on Sunday to hit one of the Calabogie backwoods stocked lakes - ice fishing.
interesting..just a thought, if the black sharpie leaves any odor youll prob miss fish ??
Interesting point, I personally don't think it's a factor. I've fished dozens and dozens of flies with painted bodies, thread etc and caught fish on them.
Not to mention the smell of UV Resin. Loved the fly
I highly doubt either are a factor. I know at least a dozen fisherman who use markers and UV resin on all their flies and they catch fish all day 😁
@@curtbradley549 Naw, doesn't seem to be a deterrent! :-)
Great pattern. Thanks for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
