on top of the hook. Continue to the eye and leave a small
amount sticking forward past the eye. Take the thread down
to the bend.

the thread and dub up the hook to behind the eye.

This buzzer is a killer in flat calm or slight ripple
conditions when there is a hatch of buzzers coming off and the
fish want the buzzer fished slightly higher than you get with a
suspender buzzer. Only gink the breathers and the fly will
sit in the surface film. Generally fish the fly static and if a
fish is moving near the fly a slight twitch of the fly will often
convert slight interest to a solid take.
