Buzzers & Bloodworms – Essential Stillwater & River Patterns
Buzzers and Bloodworms are absolute essentials when targeting trophy Trout in stillwaters and Smallmouth Yellowfish in rivers. Representing the larval and pupal stages of midges and aquatic worms, these flies are a reliable year-round food source and a must-have in any serious angler’s fly box.
For Trout: Buzzers excel on stillwaters where Trout key in on chironomids just below the surface. Fished on floating or midge-tip lines, they are deadly when presented static or with a slow figure-eight retrieve. Bloodworms trigger aggressive takes in cooler conditions or when fish are feeding deeper.
For Smallmouth Yellowfish: Both patterns are highly effective in rivers, imitating natural aquatic worms and midge larvae that Yellowfish feed on continuously. Best fished on lighter tippets with a dead-drift or induced lift presentation.
