- Fishing Techniques.
The CDC Adult Buzzer is best used during hatches when trout are feeding on emerging insects. Present the fly with a delicate cast to avoid spooking fish, allowing it to sit naturally on the water's surface. Use a floating line and a long, fine leader to enhance presentation. Employ a static or very slow retrieve to mimic the natural drift of emerging buzzers. For added effectiveness, fish the fly in tandem with a nymph or emerger pattern below, using a dropper rig. This technique can entice trout feeding at different depths, increasing your chances of a successful catch.

How does the Turrall CDC Adult Buzzer Black Cul De Canard Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The CDC Adult Buzzer Black Cul De Canard fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of a midge, a crucial part of a trout's diet. Midges, or chironomids, are small insects that undergo a transformation from larva to pupa before emerging as adults. This fly imitates the pupa stage as it rises to the water's surface, a vulnerable moment that trout eagerly exploit.
The CDC material provides buoyancy and a lifelike appearance, making it irresistible to fish. Trout target these emerging midges due to their abundance and ease of capture, offering a rich source of nutrition.
