Using Buzzers - Trout Rigs, Tips & Techniques For Successful Fly Fishing

This video from www.theessentialfly.com shows you tips and tricks to using the deadly trout buzzers on stillwaters fly fishing. Trout Buzzers are often overlooked in preference to trout lures with lots of marabou for movement and streamers which are stripped across reservoirs and lakes for Brown and Rainbow Trout. However you will find buzzer flies are deadly and as the adult midges hatch from buzzers 365 days per year these are a natural food souce every day of the year.
Many fly fishermen have llittle success with trout buzzer flies, almost always because they try stripping like a lure. Buzzer fly fishing is slow or static sport but hugely successful and productive all year round.
Find out more tips, tricks, rigs and techniques in using trout buzzers to make each visit deadly on your visits to lakes, reservoirs and your favorite stillwater. Buzzers are our favorite Trout flies for good reason, they help us catch the biggest fish!
This video contains buzzer close up video for you to see the movement of the pupae as well as some great fishing and catching of Rainbow and Brown Trout on the fly.
Trout Buzzers are part of the great fly range found at www.theessentialfly.com

Now I understand why I go "wrong" with always using a "coloured chicken" and owning 50+ buzzers I never used. Best Video by far to explain how and just as importantly why to use buzzers.

[@jamesnichols8893]

very well done. I fish this style in the Adirondacks in Upstate NY

[@ramenday3198]

After watching this video a couple years back, i use this technique (3 team) everytime i go to my local commercial all year round. It WORKS! Ive tripled my catch rate and caught by PB brown trout of 5lbs 4 and my PB rainbow of 19lbs 9 with this. Watch this over and over ladies and gents, you wont go wrong!!

[@jimseaman2558]

I see that this video was done a long time ago. Very well done.

[@gregoryfrancis7406]

I'm guilty of having a flay box with "half a chicken dyed in different colours". Great quote! This video really opened my eyes to the mistakes I have been making, although it sounds as if I am not alone. I'll be trying buzzers from now on. Really appreciate the video

[@markwalton2832]

Fantastic video with lots of information for me (an inexperienced fly fisherman)

[@Theessentialflyfishing]

Mark Walton Glad you like it mark. Check us at www.theessentialfly.com - we try harder!

[@1971JamesHill]

Thank you very much for the video, the information has been very helpful. Through trial and error I found that the warm water species here in South East Texas respond very well to nymphs and midges. Your video has helped me step up my game in the techniques of using these flies. Thanks again!

[@petemaverick4918]

Really good video!! I bought a box full of blank buster flies a few years ago and my catch rate went up significantly!!! Had good results with the spiders too when windy. The CDC's and the okey dokeys fall to bits after catching a few fish however but other than that highly recommended!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[@jamesfisher6659]

Fantastic Instructional Video. Reccomending a fly is one thing, but being shown how to fish them is outstanding. Buzzer fishing is something I have always wanted to learn about and this video gives me all the info i need to give it a go. Ordered some BBB from essential fly and their ebook to accompany this film. Thanks, more of the same please.

[@davewatson3405]

Great video. If you hook a trout deep on a long leader with several droppers above how go you land it?

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Nicely Presented. Many thanks for a very informative video

[@allanjames2744]

excellent video... allways wanted to get myself into buzzer fishing

[@800Viffer]

Can I suggest not letting the trout flay around on a wire mesh covered wooden platform if you're going to release them. Very informative video on buzzer fishing technique but handling skills maybe need working on

[@TMAdventuresT7]

Very informative thank you

[@JP230994]

Great video - I've used essential fly before and you always been great on the phone and very helpful. The video just adds to this - and makes it even clearer! Many thanks

[@Theessentialflyfishing]

James Priest Glad you like it James. Check us out at www.theessentialfly.com, we like to think we try harder to please and inform!

[@pauldonnelly5824]

Excellent video thank a lot.

[@wendyduncan9544]

great info on buzzer fishing thanks

[@bigron8346]

Great video can you use them all year round or is there a certain time of the year to use them?

[@davewatson3405]

If you're using a very long leader how do you play and land a fish hooked on the point fly?

[@TheEonRed]

Learning about buzzers and how to fish them while attending a funeral is a new experience for me :D Great video nonetheless

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Have subbed, look forward to more

[@herbertgearing1702]

We call them caddis flies and midges in Virginia. I've actually hooked a couple of them by their shells on beadheads that were down in the rocks.

[@andrewwilson5176]

1st class!!! Many thanks

[@chief_warddy]

Miss this place 😢

[@garynewman2935]

would be a perfect vid if the music didn't drown out the voice so often

[@dagerikusterud1642]

Into the wild!

[@williamklein6749]

What a wonderful video. I'm from the states and fish mostly western U.S. ( Montana, Wyoming and Oregon) lakes. Would these techniques work here? I currently fish wooly buggers on a sinking line and do quite well. I often fish may fly and may fly spinner imitations if I see hatches on top. This also works well. I think I'm missing out on chironomids, however. This could help if you think it could work here? Additionally, how do you cast three flys without a tangled mess?

[@alanrees4837]

Are buzzers any good for brown trout in reservoirs? also what month should you fish the blood worm for brown trout

[@counterpoint6718]

Nice info.

[@williamscott872]

what fly did he say he used again?????? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂🤣😂👍🎣🎣🎣

[@shaunsims3582]

Hi I'm new to fly fishing and after some advice. How long should my leader be and how thick? How long after the indicator should my leader be too drop two buzzers and what distance should they be fishing off a banking? How do I cast such a heavy rig with a fly rod? Sorry about the long paragraph

[@tonymaxwell949]

excellent video but ohh my the music is terrible

[@TheEonRed]

Feel like I'm learning about how to fish buzzers at a funeral

[@drus709]

So buzzers are basically the same as emergers or are a type of emerger, is that accurate?

[@Theessentialflyfishing]

Emergers are in the case of midges the last stage of change between the buzzer and flying midge as it hatches. Technically every type of fly has an emerger stage.

[@jonmorgan-parker4209]

I was in a match recently and everything in my Fly Box failed except for the drab all Black Buzzer size 12....the takes were viscous and saved my bacon from a Terry Wogan (Blankety blank )! lol

[@nichtverstehen2045]

Fishing in commercial pond is like hunting at pig farm.

[@williamscott872]

each to there own, if it's not for you scroll past no need to diss it fs

[@popliuhgtfd]

It's good practice for when you hit the river!

[@hiddenknowledge2012]

Sometimes that is the only location available for a guaranteed catch.

[@popliuhgtfd]

@@hiddenknowledge2012 it helps you learn gets you confidence

[@powerball1]

11.38 what's your name Mick? 😂😂😂

[@Derekhessett]

What fishery is this on?

[@davidpriestley4437]

It's in north Nottinghamshire, its tiny and would not fish it again. Massive fish yes,but not sporting. Fine if you are large and want it easy. Nice chap running it.

[@Flyfishthebordersandbeyond]

Good info but that’s a puddle full of fish

[@មាសហេង]

Do i have to put any split shot on the leader..?

[@Theessentialflyfishing]

Seth Sean No Sean I use floating or intermediate leaders depending on whether I want flies high or deeper in the water

[@allanmcclenaghan8386]
