This fly is very easy to tie and very effective  in Winter time for  grayling. In UK rivers this nymph is deadly and tied on very small hooks can be used  for French style of nymphing. If you tie this fly  on large and medium hooks you can use it forCzech nymphing

Ok, I’m not an expert in buzzers but  from time to time I like to tie these flies. So today I tied a few  buzzers using catgut as a body material. It was easy and fun and took only  a  3min to tie one.

Material used:

Grub type of hooks :Daiichi D900 #12

Thread: red or black depending of the final color of  the buzzer

Because the Caddis flies start to fly all around here is an emerger that work here  in Eastern Europe and I have no doubt that will work everywhere:

For tying these flies I use:

-Demmon BL hooks

-Trout Line Super Selected CDC in olive and tan for body

-Underwing: TroutLine Khaki Campbell CDC

– Deer Hair for wing

-UV Ribbing quill for ribbing the body

Happy tying

Here is a fly that works excellent for wild trout when rivers are high and water is very cold from snow.:

It is very simple  for everybody to tie this fly.

Is a searching nymph because  imitate stoneflies and mayflies in the same time.

Green from martians is the color that works for rhyacophila caddis flies:

happy tying

In March and April is very cold outside  so you need a flies that goes very fast in the feeding area.

A great solution for me is to use nymph tied on jig hooks.

A newbie fisherman will ask why jigs? It is  simple: because  they don’t snag on the bottom very easy and because  these flies tied on jig hooks swim with the point  up.

Models are not complicated at all but in the rivers with high fishing  pressure you have to  be creative. A GRHE fly can be modified  a little bit using UV ribbing materials or holo tinsel.

Bellow you can find a step be step and a few models that I use  in cold, high  and muddy  waters:

Another  jig for muddy waters:

This one  is made  with Pure CDC Dubbing from Trout Line because CDC have more movement in waters than standard dubbing. I use this fly in deep poles with slow running waters.

Another series of  jig flies can be found here.

happy tying,
