Buzzers, also known as Chironomidae, begin life as bloodworms living within the soft silt and mud on the lakebed. As they develop and prepare to hatch, their bright red colour fades and they take on a darker, more subdued appearance, closely matching the look of this fly pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the final stage of their lifecycle, these pupae rise slowly through the water column in a distinctive wriggling motion, pausing at intervals before drifting back down slightly and continuing their ascent. Once they reach the surface film, they hang briefly before emerging into adult midges. The smooth epoxy coating on this fly helps replicate the natural sheen of an ascending pupa, making it particularly effective when trout are feeding just below the surface during buzzer activity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEpoxy Buzzer Black Nymph\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Silk Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCheeks - GB No.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThorax - Silk Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - White Multiyarn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish the Epoxy Buzzer Black Nymph\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStatic or Suspended Presentation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFish the buzzer on a floating or intermediate line with a longer leader, allowing it to sit naturally within the water column.
