Depending on the max depth of water M8, use a leader length which won't touch bottom i.e. 12ft of water = 11 1/2 foot of leader. Put a nice flashy weighted lure on the point such as a cats whisker or yellow dancer. Tie your first buzzer about 18" - 2 feet up from the point and the next about 18" - 2 feet up from that. You could always go for one more if Ya feel confident at it.
If you're really set on dries as an indicator, tie droppers every 18" from the end of the fly line till about 3ft from the first buzzer and be prepared to vary depths i.e. experiment.
Personally I'd use a bung I can slide up and down the line till I find where the fish are feeding. Some days however they just ain't into buzzers.
