Do you fish/tie chironomids now? If not, I would strongly recommend the following DVD... it was a game changer for me: https://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Chiron...B00ENT54HS
The flies themselves are not difficult to tie, but there are subtleties in their design that make some more effective than others. The real tricks are in the techniques applied to fishing them. I've been at it for a few years now (still learning) so the notes that I jotted down were things new to me. I'll look through them tonight.
Now (ice out) through mid June is prime time for chironomid activity. This table (presented by Brian) really tells the story for lake dwelling trout:
