Tried for a few of these #16-#18 Chironomids, with a red butt and a bit of flash. Found the Krystal Flash collected a lot of river muck, but got a few with this one, even when the water started to rise.

I have to get on some Boatmen tying. Is that a pattern you've used before...effective? Looks great! Those beetles also look cool. Ive never used a beetle.
