ReelFlies® Chrome BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid Long Shank

The Chrome BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid is a standout choice when trout are feeding high in the water column or keying on pupae that give off strong light flashes during a hatch. Across many productive Canadian lakes, especially in British Columbia and Alberta, this chrome variation has proven deadly when extra visibility is needed to pull fish from a distance.

Tied on a long shank hook, it presents a slim, elongated chironomid profile that closely matches the natural shape of emerging midges. The white bead head adds both attraction and balance, helping the fly sink cleanly and then suspend in a true vertical posture under an indicator.

The chrome body reflects available light with every subtle movement, imitating the sheen of trapped gases in a rising pupa. It excels in bright conditions, deeper water, or anytime trout respond better to flash than muted tones.

Fish it static under an indicator, suspend it over drop offs, or work it back with a slow hand twist retrieve. The Chrome Ice Cream Cone is often the trigger fly when other colours get ignored.

Why the chrome version stands out:

• Long shank hook for a sleek, natural chironomid shape

• White bead head for balance and added visual trigger

• Chrome body for maximum visibility and flash

• Proven in BC and Alberta stillwaters

• Deadly when trout are feeding high in the water column

Target species:
All trout species including rainbow, brown, brook, and cutthroat in lakes and reservoirs.

When trout want shine and presence, the ReelFlies® Chrome BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid delivers.
