AK-
Chironomids (also called midges), are a bug that makes up a huge part of a trout's diet in lakes. The flies that imitate them can be tied with or without a bead, but most of mine are beaded. If you fish lakes mostly, studying and imitating chironmids can greatly improve your catch rate. It did for me. Sometimes trout really zero in on them and ignore anything that doesn't resemble a chironomid. Big trout like them because big trout are lazy. Chironomids can't really swim when they're hatching, they just float slowly to the surface using an air bubble. They are helpless and the trout can gorge on large numbers of them without chasing them.
