This is just a quick and simple buzzer that has taken a few troot in its time and works especially well in coloured water
Fished on a floater or a midge tip a pattern worthy of its place in anyones box, hope you like it
Hook - Kamasan B100 size 12
Thread - Black UTC 70
Rib - Golden Olive Stripped peacock herl (from the eyes)
Tinsel Body & Cheeks - Med Olive tinsel from Wapsi.
Place hook in vice. Start thread at eye and run down to whatever point you want the buzzer to end at. I vary the sizes of the bodies and have some short, some long and some medium
Catch in the stripped peacock herl at the lowest point
Wind thread up to just below the middle of the hook
Catch in the med olive tinsel and return thread to just below the eye of the hook
Wind the tinsel up in touching turns and secure with a couple turns of thread and cut off the excess
Take the herl and rib up past the tinsel and secure with a couple of turns of thread and cut off the excess
Take a piece of tinsel and stretch it by hand so its not so bulky and wide and catch it in just behind the eye
Repeat this one the other side of the fly
Once both cheeks are in place, pull both forward at the same time at a slight angle and catch in with a couple turns of thread
Trim off excess tinsel, whip finish and fly complete!
I normally give these 3 coats of Sally hansen but you can give them more if you want them to be bricks
These also do well in red or blue or whatever colour you prefer and just chop and change the cheeks to suit
Tight lines,
Baz
