Its vibrant green neon quill body is designed to catch the eye of even the most discerning trout, while the subtle maggot-like profile ensures it remains irresistible. This fly's origins trace back to innovative UK fly tiers who sought to enhance traditional buzzer patterns with a modern twist.
Key features include a durable quill body, UV reflective materials, and a sharp, reliable hook. Perfect for stillwater fishing, it excels in clear waters where visibility is key. Its effectiveness is proven, making it a must-have for any angler's fly box..
The Maggot Flu Green Neon Quill Buzzer is best used in stillwater environments where trout are feeding on emerging insects. To maximise effectiveness, fish this fly on a floating line with a long leader, allowing it to drift naturally in the water column. Use a slow figure-of-eight retrieve to mimic the natural movement of emerging buzzers. For presentation, cast into areas with visible trout activity or near weed beds where insects are likely to emerge. Employ a static or very slow retrieve to keep the fly in the feeding zone longer, enticing trout to strike.
Key Seasons - when is this
Neon Quill Buzzer Trout Fly
most effective?
The Maggot Flu Green Neon Quill Buzzer is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the peak hatching of midges, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, focus on overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often lead to increased midge activity. The fly is particularly effective in still waters such as lakes and reservoirs, where trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. For best results, fish it slowly just below the surface, mimicking the natural ascent of the midge pupae.
How does the Turrall Maggot Flu Green Neon Quill Buzzer Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Maggot Flu Green Neon Quill Buzzer is a fly designed to imitate 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 attractive to fish. This fly mimics the emerging midge pupa with its slender profile and vibrant green hue, which catches the attention of trout. Fish target these pupae because they are abundant and provide a rich source of nutrients. The fly's design effectively replicates the natural movement and appearance of the midge, enticing trout to strike.
