Got so many chironomids ready to go that I ran out of fly boxes!
Observed something interesting on the weekend at the vise, tying up some Dragon Lake* chironomids with wood duck thread (sort of a yellowy beige?) for the body. Without a white thread underbody, the colour changed (lost the bright yellow tinge) when UV resin or Sally Hansen polish was applied. Same thing happened when using olive floss in another pattern.
*In retrospect should have followed the recipe shown in a U-Tube presentation where the tier used white Uni-Stretch for the gills and underbody. Wonder if the trout will notice or maybe they'll be too occupied checking the wire wraps.

The fishes will probably be enticed anyway!
Maybe the OCD fish will counts the wire wraps?
