fishing buzzers?

Question

Whats the most effective technique when fly fishing with buzzers??

Answer 1

Fish a team of them, on droppers. Fish static, or let the wind blow them about a bit.

Use a brightly coloured floating line, with the heaviest buzzer on the point. This way you are fishing through several depths. Watch the end of your fly line, when it moves strangely- strike!

You can use a blob, CDC fly or a greased up shipmans buzzer on the top dropper as an indicator too.

some fishers use a 'washing line' technique, with a booby or floating fly on the point, and two or three buzzers above it.

If neither work, stick on an orange, or black and green lure!

Answer 2

You dont need a mega long leader , I dont fish with anything
longer than 15 feet , you could try an epoxy buzzer on the point ,
maybe a daiwl bach on the second dropper and if you want to
use three flys try a skinny blakeston buzzer , try different
combinations , colours etc, I would use fluorocarbon as a leader
6 or 8lb... if its breezy cast to one side letting the breeze bring
the flys round , when there is a curve in the line hang
on as this can be the time where takes occur , try a booby and
two buzzers on a HI D in deep water , figure 8 them back
slowly , good luck and tight lines .

Answer 3

retrieve the buzzer fairly fast on a sinking line, superb for lakes on a calm day.
Tight Lines !

Answer 4

I usually fish them on a floating line and let them drift with the wind until I start to retrieve them slowly but jerkily. Fish them right up to your feet as the fish is sometimes following them right in.....good luck....

Answer 5

Try the sink and draw method use various speeds and a intermediate line wieght. good luck.

Answer 6

Never open the door on the first buzz. Make the fish ring twice. Works for me.

Answer 7

I struggle with my speed....
