This is the NPA chironomid. The NPA was devised by someone at the North Park Anglers. Its a simple and effective fly. Can be tied in range of colors and sizes. Black, Olive, Red, White, in sizes 12-20. You can go smaller with them if you wish. I like them in size 18-20.

Start the thread and run it back a quarter of the way
Tie in the rib.
Run the thread back to the barb, tying in the wire. Then bring the thread back up to about a hook eye behind the eye.
Rib the wire tie it off.
Tie in the antron, tie it in about a quarter the way back from the hook eye.
Tie in the peacock hurl and bring thread to about a hook eye behind the eye
Wrap the peacock
Bring the antron wing case over and tie it down with 2 tight turns on and two tight turn on the hook shank.
Whip finish
I like to ad some sallys to the wing case to re-enforce the antron.
