Teach me to Fish Chironomids?

[jaredoconnor]

My local fly shop says urban lakes around the Seattle area aren’t great for chironomids. Is that true? What makes a good chironomid lake?

Does that fly shop sell chironomids?? I’d say every lake around here have chironomids….and fish eat them!

Not true from my experience.
