Jack Shaw’s Quill Body Chironomid

I’m a big fan of tying old school patterns like this one, seeing how things were done years ago gives me a huge appreciation for all the amazing synthetic materials that are available now. Even with all the new materials these natural type patterns have been around so long because they just plain catch fish! Give em a tie and give em a fish, you won’t be disappointed!
A couple great places to pick up your fly tying materials:

I bought Jacks book about 25 years ago and got a lot of hours of tying out of it, and the how to fish advice was also super helpful. Still tying a lot of flys all these years later. You did a very nice job of tying and explaining, keep up the good work.

He used fentex wool for most of his coronimid patterns, of which he had many .Jack was the father of this type of fishing!

I would add UV resin to the body before proceeding to the front of the hook.I do like the pattern though and will add some to my collection .thanx.

Great tip!

You hear so much about river flies and their origins - but the lake flies designed by the stillwater anglers of Alberta and British Columbia are something I really enjoy hearing about. Loved seeing Brian’s post AND now your video bringing it to life. Great work!

Jazz O'Driscoll thank you very much for the kind words! Love these types of patterns as well! And the history of them is pretty awesome stuff!

Looks wicked! When I did tie Chironomids a long time ago this was like the pattern I tied. Thank you Brandyn.

Awesome

[@BCFlyguys]

Cam Black thank you sir!

[@waynejansen3116]

ya I like that one. Kinda forget that flys tied without modern day materials still catch fish

[@BCFlyguys]

Wayne Jansen sometimes more fish!

[@derek6284]

I'd prefer the oldschool, easier on the budget! Dam beads are expensive and they dont really catch u anymore fish!
