The ASB Chironomid - An Instructional Fly Tying Video

A detailed guide to tying consistent imitative Anti-Static Bag Chironomids. These are an absolute deadly immitation for the prevalent "gassed-up" phase of ascending Chironomids in British Columbia's Interior Stillwaters, and they're a must-have addition to any anglers fly box. Thanks for watching friends💪🎣

Couldn't agree more. Subbed :)

Great video 👍👍👍

[@w8coach]

Amazing tie! The asb really matches the plastron respiration of the pupal skin. Can’t wait to tie some myself!

Thank-you so much Peter! I appreciate you taking the time to not only watch but comment too. Cheers!

[@johnbradford6845]

Nice looking fly and great video. Were you putting resin on the wing buds as well as the body?

[@williamsydney535]

When anyone says helicopter 🚁 now , it reminds me how I made my girlfriend laugh when i tied flies naked ...

[@davidbenjamin5356]

Did you stretch the asb strip immediately before tying in? Great video.

[@robardave]

well done.. but the ASB's I tie are far less busy and very effective. But a good tie none the less.

[@pedrohenriques2983]

Nice fly but? Do you do them smaller or this is the size you fish ?

[@tyingismyvise]

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I'll tie these on Scud Hooks sizes 10, 12, 14, and 16 and also on Curved Nymph sizes 12, 14, 16, and 18. For my local stillwaters this has the vast majority of chironomids covered from early ice off until late fall. Cheers my friend 👊

[@pedrohenriques2983]

@@tyingismyvise thanks , maybe you can show us how to do it on a 16 or a 18

[@gaylecarson5220]

Do you sell them? If so, where?

[@tyingismyvise]

At the moment I unfortunately do not sell my flies...I can barely keep up to fill my boxes haha. Thank-you for commenting though, I appreciate it!
