The RIO Red Headed Stepchild is a popular and highly effective stillwater chironomid pupa pattern, instantly recognizable by its vivid red bead head and black body. This fly is specifically designed to imitate a chironomid that has developed a large gas bubble and is nearing emergence, with the red head serving as a powerful, distinct visual strike trigger for trout. Built to sink quickly and fish vertically under an indicator, this pattern excels during cold-water periods when midges are the primary food source.
