I've got a small e-booklet type thing from essential fly which does a good job of explaining the basics. It would be too big to post on here so if you want to pm me with an email address , I'll send it to you.

Hi Bill, if it's not too cheeky could you send it me also, as I'm new to fly fishing and have tried buzzers a few times but never caught on them. Any help I can get I'm thankful for.
Cheers Steve.

Yes a single buzzer will work. Make sure you try it at different depths, takes can be savage or barely noticeable. Good luck.

Which lake is it, blacklab? Are you fishing from bank or boat?
