All the main buzzer patterns are working well but leader length when using buzzer tactics is very important – it is always related to the depth of water you are fishing, but ten to fourteen feet appears to be where most of the action is currently taking place.

Best areas at the moment appear to be North Queich, Green Isle,Castle Island and, at long last, the Thrapple Hole is working. The open water drifts at North, Elbow, Mid and East Buoys are working well, as are Carden Point, Hole ‘O’ the Inch and the South Deeps.

I had success with a wee dry hopper (#14 fiery brown) last weekend, as BK says, the Green Isle to Scart is fishing very well as is the Thrapple Hole; Buzzers were certainly in abundance when I was out.

I would add the kelson, front of st serfs and over the shelf from the elbow to the east can. If bright, size 10 buzzers early evening, 12 or 14 traditionals or snatchers later. The latter all night if it is windy, sinker early, surface later or all night if the fish up in the water.
