Olive Red Butt Bomber Chironomid Fly Tying Tutorial

The "Bomber" hatch draws nearly as much attention from anglers as it does from trout. When these oversized chironomids start emerging, the fishing can be phenomenal, and having a selection of effective patterns in your fly box can turn an ordinary outing into an unforgettable day on the water. Bombers are often characterized by brown or green-toned bodies before they become “gassed up,” so it’s wise to carry a variety of these colour variations in your collection. This pattern is one we always keep on hand, ready for when this exciting hatch begins.
