This past season this variation of the English, Woofta Pupa, was one of my better-performing chironomid patterns.
The Woofta Pupa is a popular English buzzer or chironomid pupa featuring a fuchsia thorax. This version features a fuchsia thorax blended with the thread wing pads, standard bead head, and gills common to most North American chironomid pupa patterns.
