First fish on my own buzzer.

[brownsville]

Fishing by the trees on No.3 tank at Barrow yesterday, I first saw the flash, and then felt the pull, of a 1lb fin-perfect brownie, that had taken a fancy to one of my Mk. 1 buzzers on the lift.

Had to hand the rod to my pal while I scrambled down the six foot wall to release the fish in the water, breaking the screen on my phone in the process, but I'm chuffed to say the least.

Only a few naturals coming off still. Bring on the big hatches.

This one broke my duck, he's retired now.





A few more recent ones.

Well done Mike, sorry about the phone though. Still there's hope for you yet, as a buzzer-tyer. Must be that influence from Rob....

Thanks guys, I still have a row of buzzers from Rob, which I know work, and the temptation to say sod it and tie them on has been great.

The hooks and goose biots were a gift from the great man himself also. I had a buzzer-tying frenzy in the winter and have only tied a dozen or so in the last week, but with better materials, and more of the focus that they allow.

Fresh off the vice.
