Drowned Buzzer

Hook : Kamasan B100N
Thread : Black
Rib : Silver wire
Thorax : Pearl tinsel over varnished thread
Abdomen : Ice dub Peacock
Wing : Polypropylene

Instructions : Lay an even body of tying thread along the shank of the hook and then coat with varnish/head cement. Wind on two layers of pearl tinsel while the varnish is wet adding another coat of varnish between the first and second layers. This gives the tinsel a blue translucent look. Tease out some of the dubbing to look like crumpled legs.

This is meant to be an easy tie version of Stan Headley's Half Hog and represents a drowned, half-emerged buzzer. The wing is intended to add some buoyancy and stop the fly from sinking quickly so it can be fished near the surface.

Hook - Kamasan B400

Thread - Black 8/0

Body – Chartreuse Grizzle Hackle

Tail - stretched pearl tinsel

Legs – Knotted Pheasant Tail Fibres (2 forward, 2 Middle & 2 rear)



Step 1

Mount the hook in the vice, attach the thread, wind down to a point opposite the hook point.
catching in the pearl Tinsel.

Step 2

Wind the Pearl Tinsel round bend & forward again in tight turns stretching the material slightly tie in then trim off.

Step 3

Catch in 2 sets of 2 legs pointing rearwards, then holding 1 leg either side towards the eye of the hook wrap 1 turn of thread around to hold the legs in a position approximately 90˚ to hook. Then tie in final set of legs pointing forward.


Step 4

Return thread in tight turns back to the point where the base of the middle legs touch the hook.


Step 5

Prepare your  Hackle by snipping the centre, wrap hackle around filling the space up to hook eye leaving enough room for a head, trim the waste hackle and cover the butts with tight turns to form a very small head, just behind the front legs, whipfinish and varnish for the completed fly.

Coroxia imitation
Hook 16 B175 or equivalent
a few wraps of fine lead wire
Body pearl tinsel.
Thread green or black
hackle partridge
shell back nymph skin coluored green with pantone type pen (usually I use brown but thought I'd give green a go)

Clear as mud instructions
Put a base layer of thread
Add a couple of wraps of fine lead wire to the middle of the hook
Tie in a piece of nymph skin cut into a V shape
Tie in the tinsel and build the body tie off at the front.
Prepare a partridge hackle so you have a half dozen fibres in a V shape. Tie in on top of the body.
Pull over the nymph skin and tie in and form a head and whip finish.
Colour the nymph skin and varnish the head.

The reason for the lead is that when you watch coroxia they tend to rise to the surface in a vertical direction and then dive straight back down. the lead helps the nymph sink quickly and when used with a series of short sharp pulls rises quickly. That's the theory and when there a coroxia about this has caught a lot of fish.
