About the Sid's Standard Fire Orange Buzzer Trout Fly

Sid's Standard Fire Orange Buzzer is tied using a strong curved Buzzer hook with a dubbed body, tail and breathers, for fishing right in the surface film.The dubbed body (seal fur or seal fur subs) gets trapped in the water surface, thus keeping the buzzers in the surface film.To make absolutely sure that they float high, you can always treat them with a floating (Gink is excellent).

Expert Tip:

If you need your Standard Buzzers to fish right on top, treat them with a floating. If you use them untreated,eventually they will absorb water which will enable them to fish just below the surface ( for when you spot the 'dimple take'.This is when the Trout takes an emerging fly just below the surface, does not really break the water surface, but you will see a swirl on the water, sometimes referred to as a 'flat spot'. This is when the Trout has taken a fly just under the surface which flattens out the ripple.
