Notes
A variation of an anti static bag (ASB) chromie pattern in which a thin strip of ASB is wrapped over the wire rib so the black and red thread underbody partially shows through. Chris Conn fishes it as the first chironomid he ties on when he gets on the water, through spring and the rest of the stillwater season.
