Buzzers trout flies are a midge pupa and are so called because of the buzzing noise they make in swarms. Buzzer Trout Flies start in life as a blood worm and live in the mud usually in still waters, they are generally red in colour at this stage although close to hatching the colour of the buzzer fly fades, The buzzers will then travel to the surface of the water in a wriggling action once they are there they will wait before hatching and so quite often drop back down a few times, this is a great period for the trout to feed on buzzer flies. Keeping the buzzer quite still then slowly retrieving then letting it stay motionless again will imitate a natural hatch. When the buzzers eventually hatch they will come out in adult buzzer for or midge flies. The life cycle of buzzer flies is really quite easy and they do hatch all year round, keep a look out for the adult for of the flies or discarded pupa bodies'

Above are a selection of epoxy buzzers which can be used all year round for catching trout on lakes and still waters

Streamer fishing flies are generally attractors designed to deceive the fish. They represent such things as tadpoles, leeches and fish fry which they eat as a main part of their diet or as an attractor which are brightly coloured and annoy the fish into striking. Streamers can be used to catch any predatory fish such as trout, pike and musky and they often strike from aggression. They will work on a fast or slow retrieve just keep it moving in an erratic manner.
