This method of fishing is one I haven't tried. I know there are a lot of experts in this forum, and I was hoping I could get some basic tips to start. I get the general idea of long leaders, small flies, and strike indicators. But what else are the requirements? Rod, reel, line? Patterns? Where? When? With the good weather coming up, I most likely will put aside the remodeling project and head out to one of the local lakes or perhaps one on the Kitsap Peninsula. Since I can be on one of several within a half-hour's drive, it beats trying to take a whole day to chase steelhead.

Is there a link to a primer on chironomid fishing? Can someone give me a jumpstart?

Thanks in advance,

Keith
