oscarsdad Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Been filling the fly box with some new creations. Today’s were some beaded buzzers in lemon and lime, burgundy and ginger flavours... Hopefully soon will be able to tempt some early season trout with them (unless the rivers are in good condition in which case I’ll be chasing wild brown trout and grayling rather than stocked rainbows). I want to get better at fishing buzzers as I often am not patient enough and end up stripping lures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker570 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Nice work, they should do the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave at kelton Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Nice flies. You could try adding natural guinea fowl as a very light hackle. Used to work a treat on Farmoor before I moved north of the border. Trick with buzzers as you know is to fish slow and generally let the current or wind bring them around. Tight lines when you get out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldypigeonpopper Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hello, they look good, as above , bushy dry fly on point and 2 of your buzzers on droppers if surface feeding, or just buzzers if below surface, let the wind and current do the work, Farmoor is a great place to fish buzzers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likewise - It doesn't seem like fly fishing when you just sit waiting for a take - Like float fishing without a float (Don't mention the bung!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I’d rather be fishing for wild brownies on a river with dry flies but I suspect rivers won’t be suitable for that fir a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
