New buzzer patterns

[fishyjames]

Not sure if these already exist but they are new to me, just though that they would make good practice. So here we go, enjoy



Thanks for looking, James (I know that my pictures aren't great)

All comments welcome, also, are the cheeks right, they look a lot thicker than some other picture of this style of buzzer. Just for info, the rib is one strand of coloured krystal flash, and the cheeks are antron again. Still quite basic, but I like the more basic patterns for now

They'll catch fish for sure.
Basic works very very well.

[black knight]

They look fine to me.

Thanks salmoman and BK, will carry on my practice tomorrow, I am having another lesson on Monday so I will have a couple more patterns to practice over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the replies, James

They are superb, oyur coming on leapps and bounds - what sort of fishing are you most likely to do?

Thanks flytyingguy, not really sure yet what type of fishing, do you mean river or stillwater? if so, probably a bit of both, but not completely sure yet.

James,
I think the thoraxes are to big should be half the size,the rest is good ,nice finish and they will get down to the fish ,and thats often needed especially on sunny days .
Keep it up and you will soon be far better than me ,coming close already !

Thanks ACW, will keep your information in mind, and tie a couple more today, using a thorax half the size obviously

Thanks again, James

James if you look for scratchs patterns they give a great idea on correct proportions.
