The naturals land on the water either after mating or are blown there, so the trout young and old are used to seeing this 'pattern' float by!
The fly can be fished static or on a varied retrieve via a floating line.
My favourite it to cast to a rising trout or cast upstream into a feed channel.
However, it is often a good searching pattern when no surface activity is evident.

The Black Holo-flex hammer is a stillwater pattern which comes into its own during hatches of black buzzers, developed over the last few years to fulfil requirements for certain fishing conditions. The first adaption I made from the original was to replace the peacock herl thorax with a dubbed one. This was done for two reasons, firstly to give a more ‘buggy’ appearance, and secondly, to speed up the tying process by removing the necessity for a second whip finish included in the original.
