Try putting a maggot on your buzzers, or a pellet from fish farm,dried blood worm stays on well too...makes you wonder why yours are useless.

You could try the buzzers static under a dry or a bung.
Dry shipmans or big daddy in the summer works a treat too.
Generally though I like to fish small flies dead slow or stop. You will tend to take the resident fish more with this approach. Leave the yobbo stockies to the fast strip

3 clyde style spiders fished on a floater and left to drift in the wind, deadly.
