VEE'S SUSPENDER
BUZZER
Tying:
| Hook |
Sizes 14-18 fine wire round bend |
| Thread |
Fine black or olive |
| Rib |
Fine silver wire |
| Thorax |
Natural moleskin/peacock herl |
| Collar |
Fluo red thread |
| Suspender |
White ethafoam |
This fly must be tied very sparse. Tightly butting thread down
the shank round the bend. Tie in rib. Tie collar with 2 or 3 wraps
of fluo thread and dub the smallest bit of moleskin as thorax. Tie
in suspender using small slice of ethafoam on back of hook shank as
shown in photograph. Do not tie in usual suspender buzzer position
as the secret of this fly is the angle it sits in the water.
Fishing Method:
Floating line and long leader with fine diameter tippet of 3 or
4lbs. Cast out and leave. They will soon come to it. If a buzzer
hatch is on and trout are actively searching the surface film for
emergers then this fly is dynamite.
It really sorts out the big wily overwintered trout in early
spring. It is a fantastic fly in flat calm conditions and has won
several competitions for us when the going was difficult. Works from
March onwards and will even pull fish up in mid winter on mild days.
This is another must and will give your top of the water fishing
a whole new meaning. Works equally well on brown and rainbow trout
and also in rivers. Takes can sometimes be nothing short of savage -
you have been warned!
