Buzzer Black Fly

Description

Buzzer Black: Premium Chironomid Pattern

The Buzzer Black represents a masterful approach to midge pupa imitation, combining simplicity with proven fish-catching effectiveness. This meticulously crafted pattern features carefully selected materials that create a compelling chironomid profile in the water, making it particularly effective for targeting trout in stillwater environments.
