The Flex Epoxy Buzzer Trout Fly is a meticulously crafted fly designed to mimic the natural movement of emerging midges, a favourite prey for trout. Featuring vibrant olive and orange cheeks, this fly is not only visually striking but also highly effective in attracting fish. The use of flexible epoxy enhances durability and provides a realistic sheen, ensuring it withstands multiple strikes. Originating from the UK, buzzers have been a staple in fly fishing since the early 20th century, renowned for their success in stillwater environments. Perfect for anglers seeking reliability and performance..
The Epoxy Olive & Orange Cheeks Buzzer is best fished using a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural movement of emerging chironomids. Cast the fly on a floating line with a long leader, allowing it to sink slowly to the desired depth. Use a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a lifelike motion, pausing occasionally to let the fly drift naturally. This technique is particularly effective in still waters such as lakes and reservoirs.
For added effectiveness, fish the buzzer in a team of flies, spacing them 3-4 feet apart to cover different depths. Adjust the depth and retrieve speed based on fish activity and water conditions.
Key Seasons - when is this
Flex Epoxy Buzzer Trout Fly
most effective?
The Epoxy Olive & Orange Cheeks Buzzer is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the peak buzzer hatches, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on emerging buzzers, especially in still waters like lakes and reservoirs.
For optimal results, target overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often lead to increased buzzer activity. The fly's vibrant colours and epoxy finish make it particularly enticing in slightly murky waters, where visibility is reduced.
How does the Turrall Epoxy Olive & Orange Cheeks Buzzer Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Epoxy Olive & Orange Cheeks Buzzer is designed to mimic the pupal stage of a midge, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As midges transition from larvae to adults, they rise through the water column, making them vulnerable and an easy target for fish. The fly's olive body and orange cheeks replicate the natural colours and gas bubble sheen of the emerging pupa, attracting trout with its lifelike appearance. Fish target these pupae because they are abundant, nutritious, and often found in large numbers, making them an efficient food source during their emergence.
