Have you noticed how fly patterns have changed over the years? Not always for the better however. Take buzzers for example. We are now told to use a pattern that is hard (the epoxy buzzer) I knocked up some of these flies a while ago and whilst I got plenty of takes, I found myself losing lots of fish. I've gone back to the old style of tying this pattern using soft materials for the bodu and ribbing with cock hackle stalk. The result - 23 trout caught abd released the other day. Other anglers using the modern tyings - 4 fish between 6 of them!
**** Walker had it right. Trout do hang onto a soft pattern longer.
