I was fishing some small lakes for rainbows when there was a good hatch of buzzers in mid afternoon. Trout were taking them leisurely from the surface, some rising only 5yds from the bank. I tried small black buzzers in the surface film, with breathing tubes of either CDC or white poly fibre. Not a take even, thought fish were rising around the artificials.
As far as I could make out, the buzzers were small and probably black or dark grey.
Has anybody any ideas on how to get them to take artificials when they are engrossed in munching small naturals ?
