Buzzers dont lay eggs, they are the pupal stage of the midges life cycle. There are patterns out there for the adult midge if thats what you want.

Hi Boony, that will be what I need then mate.

Do you want a pattern for an adult 'buzzer', in the act of ovipositing? There's a guy over in the 'logical thought' thread might be able to help you.

[smudger564]

That would be most gracious of you. Thanks

Actually Boony, "buzzer" is the slang for an adult chironomid/non biting-midge. So to be accurate, they do lay eggs.

It's just that "buzzer nymph/pupae" has been shortened to just "buzzer", causing obvious confusion.

Smudger, a Carnill (adult) buzzer should do the trick, or a hopper tied on a light sedge hook such as the Grip 14723.

Hi Midlander, Thanks for the confidence boost. This question was prompted by a fellow angler and Welsh International, who mentioned egg layers. I couldn't remember if he said Midge or Buzzer, so I said Buzzer, typical.

Mr Carnill's buzzer is a simple, yet nice representation of something near to what I want. I'll check out some other patterns too, but, thanks for the input. Very much appreciated.

Regards

Yep. Difficult for the nymph to "buzz" around your head and earn the nickname.

Try this smudger,

Kamasan B100 of the appropriate size,
Body thread to match the hatch, Rib silver or gold oval, to suit hook size, Hackle, genetic saddle, again to match the hatch, tied paraloop style.

Fish it untreated to represent an emerger or ginked to represent the egg laying stage.
You could tie in a couple if cream coloured hackle tips over the body before forming the paraloop hackle. The larger size in black with trailing legs is also a good Hawthorn pattern.
