Umpqua Chironomid Pupa

The Umpqua Chironomid Pupa is a highly effective nymph pattern specifically designed to emulate the vulnerable, curved body of the midge pupa, which is a critical, year-round forage in lakes and slow-moving rivers. Expertly tied with a realistic profile and key flash materials, it convincingly replicates the insect's natural appearance, including the visible gas bubble it develops just before emergence. This durable fly is a proven winner when suspended under an indicator or slowly retrieved, making it a crucial addition for stillwater anglers targeting large, selective trout.
