I have a Chironomid dilemma. I probably have about 20-30 chironomids in my spring box. Most are in a size between 22 and 28. I fish in the Pacific Northwest for rainbow trout, mostly in lakes. I have a few in a size 12 and even less in a 14. When I went to Cabela's website and looked at Brian Chan's DVD, I noticed most of his flies were offered in a size 10, 12, and 14. My questions are;
Are my flies too small? Should I tie some more in sizes 10 & 12? What is your best advice, given that I've never been a chironomid fisherman before.
Thanks ahead.
