Thumbs up Scratch buzzers advice please

Just ordered a selection of epoxy buzzers from Scratch on here. Problem is I have little, ahem, no experience fishing these type of bugs. Just thought they look the muts so thought I'd try.
I fish mainly lake but will try them on the river to.
So what do I do...3 at a time and let sink? Slow retrieve, midwater? How far apart on the cast? Heeelp!
I could just go chuck and see but some advice would be really really helpfull.

Any ideas folks...

You just have to experiment, all methods on their day work, you can cast out and let the wind bring them round, you can try a figure of eight retrieve, you can fish them static under an indicator,or again a slow retrieve under an indicator, you can try a midge tip line or floater, or even an intermediate, hope all this has not made your head spin,and as you say you have no experience, then don't fish three try two.
The fish will let you know what method they prefer. i usually fish them two feet apart.

hello no need for skill when using scratches buzzers they can do it all by themselves, but the fly are trying to copy swims very slowly or not at all so very often a slow figure of eight or static will work, but sometimes a fast retrieve behind atractor fly will work so its best just to vary and see what suits the day cheers john
