I would imagine there are Chironomids in every body of water on the planet.

Yep pretty much all Lakes have Chironomids. I've even caught Rainbows and Brown's in the Bow with them, not to mention Whitefish.

I was in Whitehorse two summers ago and fished chironomids for whitefish and had probably the best day of fishing for me to date.

Black with red rib sno cone, size 14 scud hook. Alternatively, #14 chromie or ABS. Often one of these will remain on my line for the rest of the day.

What is with the childish bickering? Stick to the purpose of the thread but if you wish to keep up with the trolling feel free to visit a different site.
