Default Fishing buzzers

Hi
on my local Stillwater the fish are still taking dries and they are also partial to a buzzer. I was thinking of fishing a buzzer under a dry - can anyone advise a set up i.e. Length of leader/ dropper?
Cheers

it will help people to give you the best advice if you elaborate on the fishery name,, as their may be some regulars on here who know the water well ,and were better to get advice.

Try puting your dry fly maybe 5ft-6ft away from your fly line and put the buzzer about 6ft away from that, if it int working just try different lengths , the fish feed at different depths everday but once you locate what depth roughly they are feeding it should be fine.

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.
