Key Seasons - when is this
Flexifloss Buzzer Trout Fly
most effective?
The Flexifloss Black & Orange Cheeks Buzzer is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the peak buzzer hatch, when trout are actively feeding on emerging midges. The fly excels in calm, overcast conditions, which mimic the natural environment of the hatching insects. During these times, trout are more likely to be near the surface, making the buzzer an ideal choice. Additionally, late summer evenings can also be productive, as hatches often occur at dusk, providing another opportunity to use this fly effectively.
How does the Turrall Flexifloss Black & Orange Cheeks Buzzer Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Flexifloss Black & Orange Cheeks Buzzer imitates the pupal stage of a midge, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As midges transition from larvae to adults, they rise through the water column, making them vulnerable and an easy target for fish. The fly's design, with its segmented body and vibrant orange cheeks, mimics the natural gas bubble that pupae use to ascend, attracting trout by resembling this enticing, protein-rich meal. Fish target these emergent pupae due to their abundance and nutritional value, making the Buzzer an effective choice for anglers.
