Midge pupa — still or slow-moved
CharFilm
Chironomid pupae hanging just below the surface are a critical food zone for Arctic char in cold stillwaters. Fish static or on a very slow lift under an indicator.
Fish this when
Calm lake bays in spring and summer, midge hatch activity, char showing near the surface with head-and-tail rises.
Why it works
Pupae pause in the film before hatching — char take them at this moment. Static presentation in black, red or olive matches the natural exactly.
