I'm going to be working this year at becoming a better stillwater chironomid fly fisher. FG really knocks them dead using her deep water midging techniques.
In tying stillwater chironomids, I've preferred using the Daiichi 1260 (2XL, Round Bend, Straight-Eye, Curved Shank, Bronzed).[font "Garamond-Book"][size 1][font "Garamond-Book"][size 1]

It is beefier than the Tiemco 200R and makes me think it will handle larger trout.
What is your favorite hook for tying stillwater chironomid patterns?
