ReelFlies® Titanium BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid Long Shank

The Titanium BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid brings a modern, high contrast edge to a classic stillwater pattern. With its sleek metallic tone, this variation shines when trout are feeding on ascending midges but want something that stands out just enough to get noticed. Across many productive Canadian lakes, especially in British Columbia and Alberta, titanium has become a favourite on bright days and in deeper water where visibility is key.

Tied on a long shank hook, this fly creates a slim, extended chironomid silhouette that closely matches the natural shape of emerging pupae. The bead head helps it sink smoothly and then suspend in a straight, vertical posture under an indicator, exactly how real chironomids rise toward the surface.

The titanium body throws off a subtle metallic glow rather than a hard flash, imitating the shimmer of gas trapped in a rising pupa. It is deadly when fished static, over drop offs, or with a slow hand twist retrieve during steady hatches.

Why the titanium version earns confidence:

• Long shank hook for a true chironomid profile

• Bead head for controlled depth and vertical hang

• Titanium body for subtle metallic attraction

• Proven in BC and Alberta stillwater fisheries

• Excellent choice for bright days and deeper water

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

When trout want a refined metallic look, the ReelFlies® Titanium BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid delivers consistent results.
