About the Black Holo-flex Buzzer Trout Fly

I developed this pattern in 1998 as a true to life chirononid pupa pattern and is currently one of my favourites for stillwater. If you compare it to the natural, it will soon become obvious why it works. I usually fish it static or with a very slow 1" twitch on a very long fine tapered fluorocarbon leader. I have found that takes are usually very confident with a long slow pull of the line (unmissable??!!).

Expert Tip:

Since its inception I have lost count of the number of trout I has caught for me, record being 30 in a four hour session when fellow anglers were struggling. One fishery manager of my acquaintance has threatened (in fun) to ban me from using it.
