FAQs
What is the best way to present the Shipman's Buzzer?
Cast the fly near the surface and allow it to sit, mimicking a hatching buzzer. Experiment with slow retrieves.
What size tippet should I use?
Use a tippet size that is appropriate for the size of the trout you are targeting and the clarity of the water.
How should I store my Shipman's Buzzer flies?
Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage.
Can I use this fly in rivers?
While effective in stillwater environments, this fly is less effective in rivers.
How often should I replace my flies?
