About the Ultimate Chironamid Trout Fly

I was show this fly by it’s originator Mr Herman Fisher from Kamloops, Canada, it was designed for use on the lakes that surround the Kamloops area where he lives, it works best fished just above the bed of the lake, I have spent many a day with Herman and watched him out fish everybody on the lake, including myself when he was using nothing else but his chironamid pattern. I have tried it in the UK and had amazing results; this is the fly I used for the basis of many of my new buzzer patterns.
