This is the best description of buzzer (midge) fishing I have seen. The long leader method is deadly with other midge imitations as well

Jan,

Yes, I am the author... and the designer, publisher, photographer, proof reader and any other role you can think of.

The new book sits on my computer and is about 80-90% done. It's been quite a lot of work to get it ready, and I'm still adding patterns, although I'm running out of patterns that I actually use or have used, and that's the whole idea. The book will cover my own and my nearest fishing friend's favorite flies for sea trout.

My guess is that it will be another month or so before it's available on Blurb. I will annonce it here just like the other GFF books.

Hej Martin,

thanks for your description of this "old" one and your variations about it! You mentioned a new book "Favorite Flies for Baltic Sea Trout". When and where will it be published and are you the author?

Best regards

Bubba,

Here in Denmark they can be bought in any tackle shop - like here. I'm not sure how common or popular they are elsewhere.

GREETINGS, MR. MARTIN JOERGENSEN; I AM NOT YELLING, I USE CAPS.'CUZ IT IS EASIER.THANKS.
WHERE CAN I BUY THE BUBBLES? I USED TO BUY THEM AT WAL=MART BUT CAN'T FIND 'EM ANYMORE.
THANKS.

Nicolas Pariset, you just got pwned by the creator. HAHA.

I waited a long time to watch this DVD. I don't know why I waited so long, it's incredible to say the least.

I used this method l

I used this method last weekend to help out some kids who were having no luck with spinners in the middle of a furious Hendrickson hatch. I found the bubble floats to be a pain. In the end, I just tied 6 feet of 6X tippet to the hook on a bobber, and then tied their mono to the same spot. A generic Elk Hair Caddis had them out fishing me in minutes. The current in the spring creek was strong, and the bobber was giving them a much more consistent drift than my fly line dragging the fly downstream as I constantly mended line. If you don't have to cast more than 20 or 30 feet at a time, I think the simple bobber approach is more than enough, and much easier.

I like the look

I like the look of this streamer, I'll tie a few and see how they look.
If I come up with any interesting variations, I'll post them on the Forum.

Rick,

My guess is that buzzer fishing would work in your streams too. I'd think that slower parts of the streams with softer bottom would be good candidates for buzzer fishing - parts that could be home to midges and mosquitoes and their larvae, which is what buzzers are imitating.

I usually use a loop knot for small flies like buzzers to enable the fly to move freely. My personal favorite loop knot is the surgeons loop, but other loops work just as fine.

Hi Martin,

Hi Martin,
Always enjoy your articles ! I live in the US and fish small streams for trout. Would buzzer fishing be applicable to this type of trout fishing? Also, what type of knot are you using on your beginners buzzer and do you use this knot with most flies that you fish? I know it is to allow more natural movement to the fly..

Thanks Very Much for your articles

Hello Kenneth,

The vise is build from several parts of other vises and some parts I made myself.
It looks nice and it works good. In the future I have planned to make one myself.
The wooden flytying tools are also made by me.
Thank you for your comment on the picture.

Tom Biesot.

Argentina is a very complicated country today, so any solution to the problems actually can cause other problems. In fly fishing there are other problems. The ego of fishermen and selfishness of some fellow countryman who does the situation in Patagonia is sometimes chaotic. What we have to do is enjoy while it is possible that region and his wonderful fishing in the best possible way.

What a fantastic trip! And some really nice pictures.
Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Any time you want to tell a story like this in the form of a "real article" on the Global FlyFisher, you are welcome!

Let the past be past and focus on the current problem we have down here : the closure of an important public accses to the river itself, and the certainty that a particular outfitter is taking advantage of an venally system ! but lets do it like done before and how a smart Argentine Guide recently did : just float the river ! You even get a official permission to do that ! And so you off to enjoy the entire spirit of OUR Rio Gallegos !

Anonymous,

I leave all knots in there as they are. Yes, they can be seen and felt, but do no harm. there really is no way of removing them as far as I can see.

Martin

Do you do any thing

Do you do any thing with the original overhand knots once the leader is tied I note on my ones you can see and feel them

Heiko, I do not blam

Heiko, I do not blame the Loop for this story of the closing of roads and rivers. Loop only does business in Argentina and all that is external is revered. The country has for years with a very low self-esteem, product of a very intense social crisis. In fly fishing this story to close rivers and land has been greatly discussed at the time that Mel Krieger also did their business in Patagonia. After the death of the guru someone had to take that position. There can draw your conclusions .....

There's nothing more

There's nothing more delightful than traditional wets and soft-hackles, fishing them or tying.
Absolutely stunning!

Kobberbassen - Kobbe

Kobberbassen - Kobberbassen - kobberbassen. Tyed on a small hook. Thats the perfekt garfish fly. They dont strike that hard when you fish with a kobberbassen. If you want a harder strike, it's my expirience that fish immitations like Magnus/frede flies makes that garfish strike harder. BUT the fish ruins the fly pretty fast. So i tend to use kobberbassen, its fast to tie.
I still find it odd you use Redtag on the coast, I'll have to try at some point :-)
Thanks for some great articles!
