Fly Fishing Methods, Tips & Techniques

The natural buzzers / chironomids move very slowly when emerging, moving slowly up and down in the water column until conditions are right to hatch and it is important that we use the Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous to imitate that movement. A team of flies often consists of 3 buzzers including one or more Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous for trout on a droppered leader, with the heaviest (or largest) buzzer on the point. Never strip a team of buzzers including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous, allow the team of flies to drift naturally, suspend them with a buoyant fly like a stimulator or wulff or alternatively use a Thingamabobber. Always allow the team of flies including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous to drop below the feeding zone. Lift the rod tip slowly taking about 30 to 60 seconds to reach 60 degrees then lower the rod tip rapidly, take up the slack line and allow to drop again. The lift and drop slowly imitates the movement of the natural buzzer / chironomid we are trying to imitate with our Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous.

When using buzzers the best fishing method is to keep it slow! What are the best Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous fishing techniques? firstly the biggest mistake made by fly fishermen is because they are used to stripping lures they try the same techniques with Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous. Buzzer fly fishing is a slow technique, use Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous on a drift with a floating flyline and allow the line to drift with the current or wind or use a Bobber or other strike indicator to suspend your Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous. Alternatively use a buoyant foam fly or stimulator flies  to suspend a team of buzzers including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous when buzzer fishing for trout 

1. Do NOT strip trout buzzers
2. Static or slow drift team including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous
3. Vary depth of the team, trout will feed at different levels at different times of the day
4. look for porpoising trout, if they are slowly taking buzzers just below the surface swap to CDC emerger buzzers or Sandys Assassins
5. try strike indicators or suspend a team of buzzers including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous with a Stimulator fly, Foam Arsed Blob or buoyant foam fly

We believe buzzers including Barbless Flashback Blank Buster Buzzer Luminous are certainly one of the important flies in any stillwater fly fishermans box when fishing for Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout.

If you are on a stillwater then check our hatch charts to see what is likely to be hatching. On reservoirs and lakes natural flies that will almost always be about and catch brown and rainbow trout are midges which grow and emerge. All stages of the life-cycle can be imitated by Bloodworms which change into buzzers which we have a successful ranges of Buzzer fly patterns including Blank Buster Buzzers and Flashback Buzzers and Epoxy Buzzers / Nymphs. Once in the surface film we can imitated these by Assassin Emergers, Blank Buster CDC Emergers and Emergers and Suspenders which to the trout look like the midge pupae ready to hatch.
