ReelFlies® Flo Orange BH Chironomid Long Shank

The Flo Orange BH Chironomid is a high-visibility stillwater weapon designed for days when trout want a clear trigger to commit. Featuring a bold fluorescent orange hot spot against a dark, slim body, this pattern has become a favourite across many Canadian lakes, especially in British Columbia and Alberta, where chironomid fishing dominates the season.

Tied on a long shank hook, this fly delivers the extended, natural silhouette of an emerging midge pupa. The bead head gets it down efficiently and helps maintain a straight, vertical hang under an indicator, perfectly matching the posture of real chironomids rising through the water column.

The bright orange collar acts as an instant strike trigger, imitating the gill region or gas bubble of a pupae and giving trout something to key on, even at depth or in low light. It excels early and late in the day, in stained water, or anytime fish respond better to contrast than subtle tones.

Fish it static under an indicator, suspend it over deep basins, or pair it in a multi fly chironomid rig as your attention grabber.

Why the Flo Orange version stands out:

• Long shank hook for a true chironomid profile

• Bead head for fast sink rate and vertical presentation

• Fluorescent orange hot spot for maximum attraction

• Excellent visibility in deep or low light conditions

• Proven producer on BC and Alberta stillwaters

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