121. Fly Tying & Fishing Stillwater Trout Buzzers

[@jimseaman2558]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This looks like a great little pattern and so simple. I remember when I first started tying flies over 50 years ago. I had little or no money, but I did have sewing thread and a little chicken hackle. Basically that’s all I used. I caught fish and lots of them. Over the years I have learned to tie more complicated patterns and enjoy using them, but your video is a good reminder that it might be time for me to go back to simpler times. Thank you so much.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, yes i started out using just this type of stuff, but now i have lots of stuff, but its the simple stuff that gets me fish. Regards Mick

what a joy to see the sweets wrapping for fly tying. just last week i needed a specific blue/purple , exactly the same as the cadburys chocolate and nut. Works like a charm

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

@@danielnel709 excellent, plus it's an excuse to by chocolate, a blue one worked for me too, but I could get them at Christmas time. Regards Mick

I tied 4 of these the night before a session at Tanfield, which is usually dead in the afternoon with no wind, a flat calm. After about 4 hours, I tied the green headed buzzer under a duo and caught on the very first cast. a very confined take and a large splash which I managed to hook. Many thanks, I am now a convert to these crisp packet headed buzzers, because I rarely if ever catch anything on buzzers.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Fantastic Paul, very glad they worked for you. Regards MD

[@paulhughes7079]

MD I caught a 9lb brownie yesterday on the red buzzer! Absolutely made up with this new little fly! Cheers mate.

Nice brother that looks smooth, I’m going to try and tie a few.

I was up till 145 last night, watching your videos again. Mick and guess what I’m watching them again.lol you are supposed be going out this weekend. It’s forecast really bad weather so I hope you’re able to go out and do a bit of fishing. Keep up the videos I think my mate Phill ordered some flies off you I’ve told him to order double so he gets me some as well 👍😎

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

The wind does not hit us until mid day saturday, so am going to a local water, not pennine in the morning, then am getting my head kicked in with Huddersfield v Millwall in the afternoon, thanks for watching and keep well Regards Mick

Hi I love the channel I’m learning so much from you: Started fishing last year set off with game fishing quickly went to fly fishing and I love it so much now: I’m actually selling my other rods just to get more fly fishing rods and gear I love what you do I would also like to get into flightline at some point I have an eye operation coming up at the end of the year maybe I’ll buy the stuff then till then I’ll keep fishing thank you for all that you do for one Yorkshire man to other thanks mucker

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Thanks for that William, remember you don't need to spend a lot on your fly fishing stuff, I've had more fish on a £45 set up than people on £300 rods and £300 reels, hope everything goes well for you and you have a quick recovery. If you email me via my about tab on the home page al send you some stillwater flies to try out and you can tell me how they fished in your neck of the woods. Thanks for watching and the comment Regards MD

Just purchased some of your buzzers. Arrived today. Looking forward to using them at Pennine in the next couple of weeks.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Cheers Steve I went to pennine yesterday. myself and one of my followers used the buzzers for a short time, but no luck, so we switched to snakes and that then got us the fish. Might need to beef up the flies, pennine biscuits were doing well on a floating line as well, but I've already done a video on them, so the snakes will future in this weekend Regards MD

[@Monkeemagik]

@@mdflyfishinguk5220 👍🏻 Thanks for the info/advice. I’ve booked on in a couple of weeks. Not been fly fishing in nearly 20 years so just acquiring some tackle at the moment. Might need some time to learn to cast successfully but hopefully whilst I’m doing this I might catch one or two.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

@@Monkeemagik ask Steve or Andy in the hut for what's catching they will help, get some pennine biscuits of them as well, floating line 9ft leader 8lb and you will get some nice fish.

[@ibelieve1468]

I purchased a some of these from your eBay sale.even though I for my own flies. Always better actually seeing the original. any way i tried one yesterday they were bloody deadly after an hour or so with nothing I put one on and just cast out and reeled in ready for a move and bang fish on. Then when I moved to another lake again first cast one pull to straighten line bang another bugger. They ruined my day as no catch and release and only a 2 fish ticket. I won't be using them again unless a blank in looking likely lol thank you sir.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Hi Sorry to hear they worked too well, am planning to use them on a water soon we're no one ever fish buzzers, just to see how they work. Regards MD

What uv resin are you using md and thanks in advance all the best mate.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

It's called bug off, you can get it off ebay. Sets fast , I use a pin to apply and smooth it over before hitting with the torch. If you use the brush it can apply too much liquid. Regards MD

Hi bro these flies how would I fish them and could I buy some from you thanks.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Just fish them on a floating line as a washing line or under and indicator as a single or duo flies. see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eImxi4J6jcxke7s you can buy them from www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jamiemdenton/m.html?item=255719510987&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 as a pack of 16 or in 3/4 of each.

[@CBCB78]

You tied CDC versions of these, MD? Them and the Black biscuit were the ones at Pennine today. Couldn’t fail.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Another good day BC, not had a chance to go out this weekend due to a family illness, but will be going out this Saturday after the htafc playoff first leg. Always thought a pennine biscuit on the point and a few buzzers would be a killer at pennine on a washing line as they love both of these flies. MD idea for a video

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

I can do a top hat version to hold the buzzer at the surface . kzbin.info/door/-d4e7jCSDAJwTu1DgtuR_gcommunity?lb=UgkxHAgY6f3CgAazjdVQ3Yt42MEuUuv09zxy
