Anti Static Bag Chironomids
Hey All,
I'm having issues tying these properly. I had a fellow angler out here in BC give me a anti-static chironomid with a red under belly after I watched him pull endless amounts of trout out of the water one day when I was getting skunked! Sure enough I threw the pattern on and was nailing them for the rest of the evening. I've tried to re-create the pattern a whack of times and it never quite turns out the same.
I can't seem to get the first red underbody to show up through the anti-static bag layer. I've tried actual anti-static bags and the window tint squares they sell at the fly shop and they both seem to overpower any colour I use as the underbody. I know the underbody is supposed to show up very faint but I can't seem to get any at all.
Any tips?
