FAQs

What size leader should I use?

A 4X or 5X leader is generally suitable for this fly.

What retrieve is best?

A slow, steady retrieve, often with a slight pause, is effective.

Can I use this fly in rivers?

While designed for stillwaters, it can be effective in slow-moving sections of rivers with similar insect activity.

How do I know if the fish are feeding on buzzers?

Look for rising fish and observe any emerging insects on the water's surface.

How do I store my flies?

Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage.

How often should I sharpen my hook?

Check the hook point before each fishing trip, and sharpen or replace it if needed.
