John Kent has a knack for chironomid fly patterns that catch big trout in still waters. While I was researching the fly pattern, I found the John ties this in a couple of different ways. He has a version with a white bead (no breathers) and a copper bead version (with breathers). He also ties the body in either tinsel wrapped first with the wire ribbing counter wrapped, or a stretch micro tubing ribbing wrapped first and the tinsel wound in between the ribs. All of these versions will work great and offer different amounts of the reflective surface.
One other thing I should note is John's use of stretch floss as an underbody on the chironomid. It helps keep the body smooth and fills it out much quicker than using 70d thread to build the taper. John likes the Mirage Opal tinsel for the fly and it really glows with just a little bit of light, mimicking the trapped gas observed in accending midge pupae.

Hey Thread Heads! I've just posted the white bead version of Kent's fly. You can check it out here - @
Enjoyed the video. looking forward to tying one up and fishing it in the spring.
Hi I have been fishing all of my life, when I was a kid we would take line hooks and a few worms head for the creek cut a stick along the way for a pole. I'm going to be 70 in a month or and I still enjoy it. I don't know why but I just never got into tying until recently. Thank you for your excellent video will be joining you again soon.
Thanks for stopping in, Gary Jordan. I'm glad to hear that you've started tying. Cheers and Keep a hook in your vise!
Great tie.
Thanks for dropping by Al fORTINI, It's great to hear from you, Cheers
Very nice little fly. Would enjoy seeing alternate versions and material lists. Thanks for the video.
Thanks a million, Tom Gsquared. It's great to have you stop by the channel. I'm planning on posting the other pattern this week if time permits. All the best! Cheers
Nice fly! I think the white bead head variation would be interesting..
Thanks Steve, I'll be posting a more original pattern soon. Cheers
Nice fly! Always nice watching Darren, thanks!
@John Walker Thanks so much! Cheers
As usual nice fly. I may have to get back into tying.
@Dan w get back on the vise already lol, I'm biased, but I think every fly anger should be a fly tyer. Cheers!
Nice one Darren! Would like to see your white bead version as well. Asked Santa for some fly boxes - will be adding this pattern to the chironomid box. Cheeers! Hank
@Hank Vana2 I hope that you get your wish. I really like this style of chironomid, it really lights up with just a little bit of light. I'll see about getting the other version posted up as well. Cheers
Nice fly. I would like to see the white bead version too. As always thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike. I'm working on posting the other version later this week, Cheers
Great one. I make something similar. But more on perdigon side. I add CDL tails... And i dound that silver bead wirks great on this in summer hot day
Thanks a million, Oholi. I'll have to give that a try. All the best!
@@PiscatorFlies cheers and tight lines 😀
Love this fly on lakes in Utah.
Great fly! Thanks for sharing.
@Hardy Schlegel Thank you! Much appreciated! Cheres
Good job as always man. Keep it up.
@Joshua Pilon many thanks! I appreciate it Cheers
wow great job Kudos
@Mark Sleeper thank you! Much appreciated, Cheers!
Chimo! Very cool pattern. If you tie a a feather wing or bucktail streamer that would be great. TNFF has posted another one with Phil R. recently. I haven't watched yet, I think it"s on nymphing from that same older Erie trib steelhead video I told you about. Cheers!
Chimo Joe, I was thinking about a streamer for the next one. I might have to go look back in the catalogue to find something interesting. Will keep an eye out for TNFF vid. By the way, have you checked out Sport fishing on the Fly? Crew out of BC, they are also loading up their library on UA-cam. Cheers

@@PiscatorFlies thanks. I like the music on the promo. Watched a "big head black streamer" pike fly. Monster hair and spun deer hair mud head on a 5/0 octopus, plus the thread, all black. Real KISS pattern.
@@PiscatorFlies TNFF - properly nymph fish a run - I love Phil but not much here compared to the "finesse" vid. :o( sorry.
Great looking fly really like your videos thanks again
Thanks a million, Mike Crook. It's great to have you stop by the channel. Al the best!
What other colors would you recommend? Nice fly and video.
@Scott Lowe, kinda trick to go off script with the colors on this chironomid without changing the pattern, but John has a series of chironomids with the mirage opal on them. Check out John's Elvis chironomid as well, more or less the same with different colors. ua-cam.com/video/4Cmcf0uPwd4/v-deo.html Cheers
