I really like fishing buzzers for rainbows but want to go for wild trout this season and like tying snatchers. I'm just wondering will these be as effective as epoxy buzzers are for 'bows. I figured there a bit like buzzers and trad palmered wets, wot you think have I lost the plot

They look good, pics are a bit small though, could you resize them in your hosting site?

Thanks, I'm really struggling getting to grips with the whole photography thing. The original photos were to large i.e in excess of 100kb so I just kept resizing until they were under 100kb I will persevere though

I have found the following variation on the above (I believe it goes by the name Daddy Snatcher) to be very effective:

Very nice, Chirpyaphid. A killer fly IMO. Are those hackle tips plain badger?

That is a very good question, the particular cape used was purchased in South Africa and the package just said Cock Cape (much childish giggling from the wife over that label).

I have tied them with a variety of hackle tips and they are all just as effective, so not sure if it makes that much of a difference.
