my first buzzer

[fish4life85]

Hi guys this is my first attempt of a buzzer using clear top coat nail varnish, Its the same a sally hansons hard as nails just a different make nabbed it off my girlfriend. .

As you can see its not the best, well it would of been better but i decided to put my fingers all over it before it was properly dry, plus it did look good to me untill i took the picture and enlarged it.

With a bit more practice i will get there.

Any tips or info to get them a little bit better would be very greatful.

cheers mitch

Looks good mate

That will catch.Just make sure each coat is totally dry before re coating and use sparingly.
Just remember the fish will not know the difference from a superbly tied masterpiece to almost a bare hook.I was told a long time ago that shop bought flies should be scruffed up a bit before using em

Thanks for the great replys guys i will kept the tips in mind when i tie up some more going to get some different coloured tinsel this week as i only have red.
The fly its self looks good whens its not blown up with the camera when i get alittle bit better i will put another picture up.

CHUB1 i will let you know if i catch on it ill take a pic of the trout with it in his mouth.

I have really got into this tying flies as its alot better buzz when you catch on your own .

Ill be ready for this fly swap soon

You`ll notice when the subject changed to drinking, I decided to join the conversation? lol. Have a look at these flies, made for display I think, not for fishingthe bling of fly tying lol.

Hi Mitch, I love fly tying, especially now I`ve got to the point, where I can almost create a pattern for most river insects. They may be rough and scruffy at times, but I know they`ll catch me fish. Your buzzer, I think will definitely catch you fish, looks good for a first attempt and they`ll get better each time.
