ReelFlies® Green BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid Long Shank

The Green BH Ice Cream Cone Chironomid is a go to pattern when trout are feeding confidently on fresh, vibrant midge pupae. In many of Canada’s top stillwaters, especially across British Columbia and Alberta, this green variation has built a reputation as a consistent producer when lighter or more natural tones outfish darker colours.

Tied on a long shank hook, it offers a slim, extended silhouette that mirrors the length and shape of real chironomids as they migrate toward the surface. The bead head provides a steady sink rate and keeps the fly hanging straight up and down, a critical trigger for lake trout watching for an easy meal.

The green body gives off a subtle glow in clear water and stands out just enough in stained conditions, making it ideal during mid season hatches or on bright days when trout want a more natural yet visible profile.

Fish it under an indicator with a long leader, suspend it over drop offs, or crawl it back with a slow hand twist retrieve. The Green Ice Cream Cone is deadly when trout are feeding with intent but still demand a precise match.

Why anglers rely on this green version:

• Long shank hook creates a true to life chironomid profile

• Bead head helps achieve the perfect vertical presentation

• Natural green tone that excels in clear stillwaters

• Proven producer in BC and Alberta lake fisheries

• Ideal for indicator rigs and slow retrieves

Target species:
All trout species including rainbow, brown, brook, and cutthroat in lakes and reservoirs.
