The Chironomid Bomber in Black/Red, size 10, is a heavy-hitting stillwater fly built to imitate large midges that trout key in on when cruising just above the lakebed. The bold black body paired with a red rib creates strong contrast underwater, making it highly visible in deeper or slightly stained water. This size is ideal when fish are feeding on the larger end of the chironomid spectrum-especially during spring and early summer hatches when bombers dominate the drift. The bead head helps the fly reach feeding depth quickly, and the sleek, segmented body paired with a bright white gill tuft offers a dead-on mimicry of the real thing. Whether you're fishing it static under an indicator or slowly retrieving it on a tight line, the Chironomid Bomber in size 10 presents a confident, high-calorie profile that big trout won't ignore. It's a go-to fly when you need visibility, realism, and consistent takes on stillwater.
