# **How to Choose 1 Dozen Buzzers for Fly Fishing (4 Models) – BUZZ 15**
Fly fishing enthusiasts know that buzzers (or midge pupae) are among the most effective patterns for stillwater trout fishing. Whether you’re targeting wary wild trout or stocked fish, having the right selection of buzzers in your fly box can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose a balanced dozen buzzers from **KyleBooker’s BUZZ 15 series**, covering four essential models to ensure success on the water.
## **Why Buzzers Are Essential for Fly Fishing**
Buzzers imitate the pupal stage of midges, a staple food source for trout in lakes and reservoirs. They are particularly effective in early spring and summer when midge hatches are abundant. A well-chosen selection of buzzers should include variations in size, color, and depth presentation to match different conditions.
## **Selecting the Right BUZZ 15 Models**
KyleBooker’s **BUZZ 15** series offers high-quality, durable buzzers designed for maximum effectiveness. Here are four must-have models to include in your dozen:
### **1. BUZZ 15 – Black & Silver (Size 12-14)**
– **Best for:** Murky water and low-light conditions
– **Why it works:** The black body with a silver rib provides excellent visibility and mimics the natural silhouette of midge pupae.
– **Presentation:** Fish it just below the surface or at mid-depth with a slow retrieve.
### **2. BUZZ 15 – Olive & Pearl (Size 14-16)**
– **Best for:** Clear water and selective trout
– **Why it works:** The natural olive hue with a pearl flash rib imitates a wide range of midge species.
– **Presentation:** Ideal for suspending under an indicator or slow-stripping near weed beds.
### **3. BUZZ 15 – Bloodworm Red (Size 10-12)**
– **Best for:** Early season and aggressive feeders
– **Why it works:** The bright red mimics bloodworms (midge larvae) and triggers instinctive strikes.
– **Presentation:** Fish it deep with a slow-sinking line or as part of a multi-fly rig.
### **4. BUZZ 15 – Diawl Bach (Size 14-16)**
– **Best for:** All-around buzzer fishing
– **Why it works:** This classic Welsh pattern combines a natural brown/olive body with a subtle flash, making it irresistible to trout.
– **Presentation:** Works well at all depths, especially when fished static under a bung.
## **Building Your Perfect Dozen**
A balanced selection ensures you’re prepared for any scenario. Here’s a suggested breakdown for your dozen:
– **3x BUZZ 15 Black & Silver (Size 12-14)** – For dark or stained water
– **3x BUZZ 15 Olive & Pearl (Size 14-16)** – For clear water and subtle takes
– **3x BUZZ 15 Bloodworm Red (Size 10-12)** – For aggressive feeding phases
– **3x BUZZ 15 Diawl Bach (Size 14-16)** – A reliable all-rounder
## **Final Tips for Fishing with Buzzers**
– **Vary your retrieve:** Slow pulls, static drifts, and gentle lifts can all trigger takes.
– **Adjust depth:** Use floating, intermediate, or sinking lines to reach different zones.
– **Observe the hatch:** Match the buzzer size and color to the natural insects present.
