Note: We can manufacture any design to order, subject to a minimum order size of 12 doz with a typical 3 month lead time.
It makes no sense to go stalking big trout without the right flies for the job. The All Lead Green Buzzer is one a series of my flies are made for the angler who intends to go to the big fish waters, where you can see and target your Trout,so it is very important that you have a selection of stalking flies. The fish you are after will appear to be not too deep,but with refraction this is deceptive,hence the need for heavy flies,so that they get down to the level of the Trout. For big fish waters where the water is not clear,stalking flies are still very necessary but for these flies I add colour,so that they show up in the water.If the Trout can see your fly,it makes catching them that little bit easier, but never simple.
