Hi i am looking for tips for a small stillwater, regarding flies and lines and depths to fish them cheers , rusty

It's getting near to buzzer season which is a great time of year. I normally fish a 14ft leader with 3 flies and floating line:
If fish are coming up; CDC or parachute on the point with a Diawl bach on the 2nd dropper, Buzzer on the bob, this is referred to the "clothes line". 2 Buzzers of various colours also works well.
Fish not coming up: Cruncher or Copper John on the point (to get the flies down a bit), same 1st and 2nd droppers.
Very, very slow retreive (figure of eight if you can do it, I can't ).
Be prepared for some seriously savage takes on the buzzers

Tight lines.

Gary

Yep, buzzer season is fast approaching. Floating lines, long leaders and wait for the take

would these tactics work for brownies?

They will work for brownies in stillwater yes, I have had some stonking Brownies out of Rutland on buzzers.

It's been buzzer season for me since the start. Tungston bead head buzzer when cold and fish are down.
Been catching on standard buzzers, though size 16s which is small for this time of year and black gnat dry or wet.
Today was black gnat day, though one trout I spooned had gorged on beetles, beige ones, black ones, metalic green/black ones and green ones. So a green beetle pattern went on with success.
Not a sniff on any buzzers tried today.

thanks for the replies ,when fishing long leaders, with two droppers on floating line, how do you know how deep to go?

Trial and error really, chuck it out, count to 5 then retrieve, try again with a count of 10 etc. etc.
