Yes great advice for buzzer fishing, especially about scaling down lighter. I only fish 5lb at Garnffrwyd fishery which is only 2mile from me. Ive been at that fishery when everyone is blanking and im slamming fish after fish on the middle peg😂😂all the old boys approaching me asking what im fishing😊gives me great satisfaction. There is one buzzer i tied many years ago that is super deadly at Garnffrwyd. Its a black buzzer with a very thin strip of holographic on the back covered with epoxy....i added a GOLD head and found that the big browns went absolutely nuts for this pattern up there. Ive had many big browns fishing the margins and deeper water with this buzzer. This is the one i always go to if i start blanking and others are also struggling around me. I used to fish there a few days a week about 10 or so years ago.....my record up there on a good evening rise is around 23-24 fish which was bedlam. Myself and my mate would often compete to see who could catch the most fish and the best quality browns. I should mention that i always fish my buzzers on an indicator, some may not like that but i find it super exciting watching the indicator dissappear under the waters surface. I have a great photo here somewhere of a 7 or 8lb brown that i stalked in the margins with that gold head black pattern i mentioned above. That was taken probable a good 15years ago. Great stuff.😊🎣
I'm so glad you started uploading more regularly! Last couple of months I was refreshing your channel sooo many times looking for some tips from you! Keep up good work! 👍👍😊
Hi Rhys. I am new to fly fishing but your tips are great. Can you please add to your future videos the image of things you are talking about, for example you were talking about a particular type of buzzer in this video. Can you please show what this is and also line demonstration to show your set up. This would be very handy. Thank you.
Hi Rhys. Thank you so much. I like how you dont just film yourself catching fish & making it look easy for us beginners! You always give good solid strategies and tips 👏 A question perhaps youve already covered... here ar barrow tanks bristol the day fishing is tough but thr rises on evening are spectacular. Hundreds of fish at your feet non stop. But ive struggled to hook except when i sometimes use hopper dropper and create some movement Im wondering what tactics best to imitate evening rise for adult buzzer feeding fish?
It all depends on the time of the buzzer hatch. You could be imitating emergents or hatched adults and that will determine the fly type. Emergers = shuttlecock cdc, adults = f fly, shucks = shipman’s. All rounder fly pattern = shipman’s, it offers you the best of all worlds
Nice video Rhys. I have done well at Ellerdine recently. 15 ft leader, snatcher on the top, then a cormie or small organza buzzer with a cormie on the point. Cast typically into a left to right breeze, I'm right handed, and allow the breeze to push the flies towards the bank...
Hi mate, i had the best fishing this season in Australia, after learning about buzzer fisfing from you. Thanks so much. Its now autum here, still a few mudeyes about and caddis. We get clear sunny still days, what would you use. Cheers
Autumn still has enough food around for the fish so don’t give up on the buzzers and nymphs. It just becomes more of a gamble based on the weather conditions. Lures (and lures that represent baitfish) are increasingly popular in autumn as the trout pack on for the winter
Hi mate, im slowly getting there, this style fishing buzzer flys. Rhys what knot do you use with buzzers. I noticed one bloke said you should use a knot with a loop, so the buzzer sits better in water. Im still trying to get my head around these big bright blobs. People laugh at me, but i don't give a shit. Once i master this , who will be laughing. Its spring here, getting the midges on surface, fish are rising to them but i must be doing something wrong as no takes. We are only allowed to fish 3 flys.. any tips mate.
Hi mate as you know I'm trying hard to fish 3 buzzers in Australia, on the sounder the fish are from 12 feet to 5 feet in say 20 foot water. It's spring here, so I have a bead head buzzer in red then 2 black with silver, I think called zebra. Iv tried a strike indicator, but nothing. Iv tried a sink line with weighted nymph on point then 2 buzzers. Still nothing. There are shallows everywhere but no rises., what am I doing wrong mate
Doesn’t sounds like your doing much wrong mate. Play around with fly patterns and sizes, and try and keep the flies as close to static as possible. If the fish aren’t switched onto buzzers then the days of success on that method will be hit and miss. Keep at it
You can but that slightly changes the angle the buzzers will fish at. With a sight indicator they will fish more on a vertical plane than a horizontal plane. Both work, just on the day one can work more than the other.
Thanks for another great video Rhys.I've been using a Suspender Hare's Ear at Garnffrwd all summer and been really pleased with the results (including 3 fish today). I tend to use a white polyball for the float and sizes 12, 14 and 16. Do you find a black float works better?
@@RhysFishes Hi, Yes it might have been mine. I have given quite a few away to the guys there but I cracked off once on casting and my old eyes couldn't find it. If you like the look of the fly please give it ago. All the best
Rhys, Thanks. Helpful as always. When you say "Static is King" are you, therefore, saying that the Bung is King or that you can also achieve a static presentation with a Straight Line technique? Of course, it is not truly "static" as the flies will descend but you can retrieve only what is necessary to stay "in contact" with the flies. Cheers,
You can achieve close to static with straight lining if you balance your leader strength and fly size appropriately based on the strength of the wind and direction etc... (I prefer straight line over fishing the bung). @timjoyceflyfishing-essex has done an excellent video on it which is worth checking out if you haven't already 👍
@@RhysFishes Hi Ryhs - you used a friend's vise to tie a fly and said it was a 'Cardan Vise' I think it was? I have looked everywhere including their email you left on your comments page - but it bounced back on numerous occasions! Would you have any other information on this company? Cheers Rhys.
@@derekosiecki fly fishermen often call them buzzers because if there is a big hatch of them then when they hatch out of the water to be flies ( midges ), they do make a buzzing noise when their flying about

Excellent information, I've never been really sure how I should be fishing my buzzers, think thisll up my catch rate. Thanks.
Glad to help
Another great video Rhys, fishing has improved dramatically since following your videos 👍🏼. Keep them coming haha
Great to hear mate!
Thanks for the tips Rhys
Great video
No problem declan
Welcome back Rhys...
Thanks Kersten! Glad to be back.

Nice to hear from you oldgold, i need to get a trip back up there on the cards!
Great vid. Very informative. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers!
Great information.... thank you....
Thank you
Thank you. Very valuable experience. .
Your welcome simon
thanks Ehys
Top info thanks .
No problem 👍
Brilliant video thanks
Cheers paul
Love the video haven't fished buzzers as zero idea but this is great. Fishing a comp on Sunday in clywedog any tips been blanking recently.
Good luck. Fish high in the water with washing line or dries 👍
Brilliant 👍
Thanks!
Are these methods good for the pissing rain and windy or better using lures and bungs for that weather?
Also great video, I look forward to seeing more
They're more successful to calmer weather conditions but never say never 👍
Back in the saddle pal ;-)
Back to the grind!

raising them quickly also imitates midges emerging which is what a buzzer is modeled after
Exactly!
Hi, great video just one question what a curlys buzzer?
very simply buzzer. black body, silver wire and brown thread thorax. There are videos on youtube with the fly.
Hello Rhys, I live in Canada and do competitions here. Do you offer some kind of guided trip in Uk ?
I don’t currently but if your visiting get in touch!
Rece man how can I shorten the leader if I'm spooking the trout with two flies on man help bro.
6lb leader is the absolute heaviest I use for Trout, I regularly go to 3lb tippet
Hi mate as you know I'm trying hard to fish 3 buzzers in Australia, on the sounder the fish are from 12 feet to 5 feet in say 20 foot water. It's spring here, so I have a bead head buzzer in red then 2 black with silver, I think called zebra. Iv tried a strike indicator, but nothing.

A curlees buzzer ? please advise

Cant you just use a strike indicator instead of puting floatant on the line?
You can but that slightly changes the angle the buzzers will fish at. With a sight indicator they will fish more on a vertical plane than a horizontal plane. Both work, just on the day one can work more than the other.

Pearl rib? I picked up a cast mid week at garn on the floor which had a similar description pattern and black buzzer on it 😀
@@RhysFishes Hi, Yes it might have been mine. I have given quite a few away to the guys there but I cracked off once on casting and my old eyes couldn't find it.

All the best B
show flies that are attached to the fish and how to make them, dry and wet.
Thanks
Delicious.
Wawww
Thanks
What is mooscline??
It’s basically a paste like texture that works like a floatant

Mucilin is a water repellant paste that is used to help a fly or flyline float

Chironomids
