Like many other successful
flies, this is a very easily constructed one, and is for use when the
trout are on the top and are mopping up buzzers and shucks in the
surface film, which they do very regularly.
It was designed for this one specific situation, and has proved its
worth when fished wet as a middle dropper fly, with a dry fly on the
point.
It is best fished using a static or a very slow retrieve, with only
just enough line being gathered to either keep in contact with the fly,
or else to move it very, very slowly. Expect the trout to take it
quite confidently.
On its first time out one warm, late April evening, it took three fish
in twenty minutes. The fish were all stuffed with buzzer shucks
and buzzer pupae.
