Chironomid Bomber

 Hi today I'm going to talk about a simple and effective pattern to fish on stillwater.
 This fly is supposed to imitate those bigger chironomids coming up on late spring time and fall, you can go all the way to a size 8, personally where I fish bombers are never bigger than a 10 and I like to fish a size smaller.
Material list:
dritz 9530W Braided Elastic, White, 8-Yard by 1/4-Inch
 UTC Ultra Wire Small Gold - Fly Tying
Strung Peacock Herl - Natural 6-8" - 1/8 0z
UTC Ultra Thread 140 (Dark Brown (UT1073))
PandaHall Elite Round Glass Seed Beads Opaque Colours White Diameter 2-3mm About 1500Pcs for Jewelry Making
Orvis Curved Nymph Hook


 1-Tie some gills in, I use some white elastic(Braided Elastic, White), and whip finish you thread.

2-Run a white bead thru your hook and over your thread and cut back the gills.

3-Tie you thread back in and tie some copper wire for ribbing, make sure to make a nice tapered body.

4-Wrap you copper ribbing all the way to the bead and tie it off.

5-Add 2 peacock herls behind the bead and make 2 to 3 wraps to create a thorax.

6- Whip finish your fly and you're done.

Fished under one of these indicators it's deadly.
