Red Head Buzzer

Materials required:

• Curved Hook Sizes 10 – 16

• Black 6/0 tying thread

• Fine Silver Wire

• Bright Red Floss

• Hard as Nails or Epoxy

Tying:

1. Tie in Black thread behind the hook eye and take down in touching turns down the hook shank and partly around the bend.

2.  Catch in the silver wire and the thread back up the hook shank leaving just less than the top third of the hook for the thorax.  Wind the wire up the shank in open turns and tie off when reaching the thread.

3.  Tie in the bright red floss and form a bulbous thorax.

4.   Whip finish behind the eye and coat with several coats of Hard as Nails or epoxy to form a shiney red head and this gives a fly which sinks quickly.

Fishing the Fly

This buzzer is very versatile and can be fished under an indicator, it can be left to drift around on the breeze or can be figure of eight or strip retrieved at various depths.  It is particularly good in the cooler weather as it can fished deep if the Trout go down.
