Just my guess.
I was out at sparrows egg one day and fish were jumping but I used everything and could not catch anything. float tuber nearby has catching them left and right, he wouldn’t tell me what he was using so I accused him of using bait and he then said chironomids.
I’ve tried but never any luck.

Yes I am sure sometimes the line pulls the fly back out of their mouth. This seems to be less of an issue with a hook actually on it. They seem to hook themselves at times. Yeah chironomid fishing can be crazy action for sure.
