hpb, I love to chronimid fish. I have a great bullet proof pattern.
I go buy Berkley florocarbon in 4lb - 6lb, measure out 20'-30', tie a loop in one end and attach it to my fly line. Put on these quick release strike indicators (Dennis Brakkey at The Fly Desk web site).
I tye one Chronimid to the bottom then I tie a piece of tippet 3' long about 5' up from the end using a surgeons knot and attach a second fly - a nymph, or another different colored chronimid. Find out how deep the water is that I am going to fish, either a fish finder or I made a measuring devise using 14 lb fishing line with marks every five feet and a big sinker on the end, drop it down and figure out how deep it is then adjust my strike indicator so that the bottom fly will be about a foot off the bottom.
