Umpqua Frostbite Chironomid CB Red

Umpqua Frostbite Chironomid CB Red is built for precise stillwater fishing when trout key in on small midges. The slim profile and clean segmentation imitate natural chironomid pupae, which makes it convincing even in clear, pressured lakes. The red body adds a subtle trigger point that often works well in cold water and low light.

The tungsten bead helps the fly cut through the surface film quickly and reach the feeding zone without excessive shot. It fishes well under an indicator, on a washing-line rig, or as a point fly on a team of buzzers. Use it on long leaders and slow retrieves when trout cruise mid-water or just off the bottom.
