The BH Bloodworm Barbless Size 10 is a weighted chironomid-larva pattern for stillwater trout feeding close to the bed. Bloodworms are the red larval stage of non-biting midges, and their slim, flexible movement makes them an important food source in silted areas.
Fish this bead-head version slowly near the bottom on a floating line with a long leader, beneath an indicator, or as the point fly in a team. Keep the retrieve restrained - short draws followed by long pauses are more convincing than fast stripping. It is particularly useful in early season, cold water and areas with soft sediment.
